Answer
a. $\quad 3$
b. $\quad 1$
c. $\quad 2$
d. $\quad$ There are like terms: $x$ and $5x$.
Work Step by Step
a.
The terms of an algebraic expressions are those parts separated by addition.
It can be a number, a variable, or a number times one or more variables.
In $ x+2+5x$, three terms are separated by addition
b.
The numerical part of a term is called its coefficient.
If a term is written without a coefficient, the coefficient is understood to be 1
The numerical coefficient of $x$ is 1.
c.
A term that consists of just a number is called a constant term.
In $x+2+5x$, the constant term is $2$.
d.
The parts of each term that are multiplied are called the factors of the term
Like terms are terms that have exactly the same variable factors.
Terms $x$ and $5x$ have identical variable factors.
