  • The constant term is a term who's VALUE WILL NEVER CHANGE

  • There are three terms in the above expression:
    #5x, 7x and 8#
    The values of #5x and 7x# might change depending on the value that #x# will take. But the value of 8 will always be 8, irrespective of the value of #x#

Hence, the constant term in #5x+7x+8# is #color(green)8#
