what are like teerms and constants?

I searched Google under the key words "Math 'like terms' constants" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Terms and constants are fundamental components in mathematics and algebraic expressions. Let me explain each of them:

1. Terms: In algebraic expressions, terms are the individual parts that are separated by addition or subtraction. A term can consist of numbers, variables, or a combination of both, multiplied together. For example, in the expression 3x^2 + 5xy - 7, each of the three parts (3x^2, 5xy, and 7) is a term. Terms are usually separated by the plus or minus signs.

2. Constants: Constants, on the other hand, are terms that do not have any variables. They are fixed values that are not subject to change within an algebraic expression or equation. Constants can be positive, negative, or zero. For instance, in the expression 2x + 8y - 5z + 9, the terms 2x, 8y, and -5z are variable terms, while 9 is a constant.

Now, to determine if a term is constant or not, look for variables within the term. If there are no variables present, then it is a constant term. Conversely, if a term contains variables, it is not a constant term.

If you have an algebraic expression or equation, identify the terms by separating them by the addition or subtraction signs. Then, examine each term to check if it contains variables. If there are variables, those terms are not constants.
