Term: either a number or a number multiplied by one or more variables.
Terms are separated by addition or subtraction
52xy - 9x + 36 + 7m - 82
Each green item is a separate term.
There are 5 terms in this expressions
Coefficient: A coefficient is the number part of a term with variables.
52xy - 9x + 7m + 82
Each red item is a separate coefficient.
Remember ---> any variable with no number in front of it has a coefficient of 1
ex: 4y --> coefficient is 4 (means 4 times y)
p --> coefficient is 1 (means 1 times p)
