Question

How do you identify the terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in each expression: `-22m-2n+1`?

Answer 1

Terms: `-22m`, `-2n`, and `1`.

Coefficients: `-22` and `-2`

Constant: `1`

Explanation:

Given:

`-22m-2n+1`

Terms are separated by positive and negative signs. A coefficient is the number in front of a variable, which is a letter (`m` and `n` in this expression). No coefficient is understood to be `1`. A constant does not have a variable.
