Terms of 7m + 2n + 1

Step by step

The question

Question: name the terms, the coefficients and the constant of 7m + 2n + 1.

1 Split into terms

Terms are the parts between the + and − signs.

Each sign stays with the term after it.

So the terms are 7m, 2n and 1.

2 Name each part

A coefficient is the number in front of a letter: 7 for m and 2 for n.

A constant has no letter: 1.

3 Check

Let's check: put the terms back together.

7m plus 2n plus 1.

We get 7m + 2n + 1 again.

So the answer is right!

Let's look back.

First: split into terms.

Then: name each part.

Last: check.
