1. Let's clarify what "each term" means in a math expression. A term is a part of an expression separated by plus (+) or minus (-) signs. 2. For example, in the expression $3x^2 + 5x - 7$, the terms are $3x^2$, $5x$, and $-7$. 3. Each term can include numbers (coefficients), variables (like $x$), and exponents (like $x^2$). 4. The coefficient is the number multiplying the variable. In $3x^2$, the coefficient is 3. 5. The variable represents an unknown or changing value, here it is $x$. 6. The exponent tells how many times the variable is multiplied by itself. In $x^2$, the exponent is 2, meaning $x \times x$. 7. Constants are terms without variables, like $-7$ in the example. 8. Understanding each term helps in simplifying, factoring, or solving expressions and equations.
