Terms are separated by + or - signs.

Terms: 4x, 9x^2, 2x, and 2
Like Terms: 4x and 2x

An algebraic expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and mathematical operations. Terms are separated by + or - signs. With this information in mind, let's identify the terms in the given expression.

4x + 9x^2 - 2x + 2 We can see that the expression has four terms, 4x, 9x^2, 2x, and 2. Now that we know the terms, we can figure out which ones are like terms. Remember, like terms are terms that have the same variable and the same exponent. Like Terms:4xand 2x
