Terms of x + 5

Step by step

The question

Question: name the terms, the coefficients and the constant of x + 5.

1 Split into terms

Terms are the parts between the + and − signs.

Each sign stays with the term after it.

So the terms are x and 5.

2 Name each part

No number in front means 1.

x is 1 times x.

A coefficient is the number in front of a letter: 1 for x.

A constant has no letter: 5.

3 Check

Let's check: put the terms back together.

x plus 5.

We get x + 5 again.

So the answer is right!

Let's look back.

First: split into terms.

Then: name each part.

Last: check.
