Insert Lesson Title Here Vocabulary term coefficient like terms

The terms of an expression are the parts to be added or subtracted The terms of an expression are the parts to be added or subtracted. Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same powers. Constants are also like terms. Like terms Constant 4x – 3x + 2

A coefficient is a number multiplied by a variable A coefficient is a number multiplied by a variable. Like terms can have different coefficients. A variable written without a coefficient has a coefficient of 1. Coefficients 1x2 + 3x

In the expression 7x + 5, 7x and 5 are called terms In the expression 7x + 5, 7x and 5 are called terms. A term can be a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables. Terms in an expression are separated by + and –. x 3 7x + 5 – 3y2 + y + term term term term term In the term 7x, 7 is called the coefficient. A coefficient is a number that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression. A variable by itself, like y, has a coefficient of 1. So y = 1y. Coefficient Variable 7 x
