Question

After simplifying, how many terms are there in the expression 2x - 5y + 3 + x?

Answer 1

Simplifying the expression gives 2x+x-5y+3=3x-5y+3.

 

Terms are numbers, variables, or the product of numbers and variables so the simplified expression has 3 terms (3x, -5y, and 3).

Answer 2

I get three.
