Answer:
Constant: -17
Coefficient: 7
Number of terms: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Constant: -17
-> This is the number that doesn't change. No matter what m or p is, -17 will be -17
Coefficient: 7
-> The coefficient is the number next to the variable. In this case, the number "with" (being multiplied by) p is 7
Number of terms: 3
-> There are three terms. A term includes positive/negative, number, variables, etc.
-> The terms are:
