We are asked to find how many terms are in $\pmb{10y^2-3y+8}$.

$\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}$

• A term is a thing that's added or subtracted.

So let's compute the number of terms in this expression.

The first term is $\pmb{10y^2}$.

Is anything added or subtracted from 10y²?

Sure! $\pmb{-3y}$ is subtracted from 10y².

Also, 8 is added to -3y.

Thus, this expression has 3 terms.

Hope it helps you out! :D
