Exercise 6 Page 8

Terms are separated by + or - signs. Coefficients are numbers that are multiplied by variables. Constants are numbers with no variable factors.

Terms: 6m^2 and 7n
Coefficients: 6 and 7
Constants: None.

Practice makes perfect
An algebraic expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and mathematical operations. The terms are separated by + or - signs. With this information in mind, let's identify the terms in the given expression. 6m^2 + 7n

We can see that the expression has two terms, 6m^2 and 7n. Next, we will identify the coefficients and the constants. A coefficient is a number that is multiplied by a variable or variables. A constant is a number with no variable factors. 6m^2+ 7n The expression has two coefficients, which are 6 and 7, and no constants. Let's organize this information in a table.
