Math Homework Help

Question: Need Help With Math Homework. Can you explain coefficients, the like terms, and constants are?
I have math homework that I don’t understand a bit please help.
Answer: Coefficients are numbers in front of variables. The coefficient of 4x² is 4;
the coefficient of y² is 1 (it’s not written when it is 1)
Like terms have exactly the same variables (coefficient doesn’t matter).
3x² and 5x² are like terms; 4y and 5x are not; 5y and 5y² are not; 4xyz and 3xyz are like terms.
Constants are terms with no variable. 8 is a constant, 8x is not.
great math homework help!
