The terms are
The terms 2, 7 and 6k, 5k are like terms
The constant terms are 2 and 7
The coefficients are 6 and -5
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given expression is
Calculation:
The algebraic expressions are made of terms separated with a + or a − sign. A term is the constant or the product of a constant and one or more variables.
The coefficient of the term is the constant that multiplies with one or more variables. The constant is a term which is having no variable. Like terms are the terms having the same variables and exponents. All the constants are also the like terms.
In the given expression, the terms are
The terms 2, 7 and 6k, 5k are like terms
The constant terms are 2 and 7
The coefficients are 6 and -5
