The difference between a term, and a coefficient is...
- A coefficient tells you how many times to multiply a variable.
· Ex: 4xy = Coefficient: 4
- A term is each of the numbers in an equation, ratio, etc.
· Ex: 5x + 7y + (4x - 4y) + 2 = Terms: 5x, 7y, (4x - 4y), and 2
I am 99.9% sure this is the correct answer, but if it isn't I am truly sorry, and please forgive me.
