1-8 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
In the expression 7x + 9y + 15, 7x, 9y, and 15 are called terms. A term can be a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables. Terms in an expression are separated by + and –.
7x + 5 – 3y2 + y + x3
term term term term
In the term 7x, 7 is called the coefficient. A coefficient is a number that is multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression. A variable by itself, like y, has a coefficient of 1. So y = 1y.

1-8 Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
Like terms are terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents. The coefficients do not have to be the same. Constants, like 5, , and 3.2, are also like terms.
