<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The <u>algebraic expressions</u> are composed of several elements: Terms, Coefficients, Signs, Variables and Exponents. In this case we will focus on the first two.

<u>The terms</u> are composed of sign, coefficient, variable and exponent. The terms are separated from each other by the plus sign (+) or the minus sign (-).

For example, in the following expression:

2x-3x

We have two terms separated by the negative sign (-):

2x is the first term

-3x is the second term

Now, <u>the coefficients</u> are the numbers that multiply the variable. <u>Note that if this coefficient is one (1) it is omitted .</u>

For example in the following expression, the variable is x:

2x-3x+x

2 is the coefficient of x in the first term

-3 is the coefficient of x in the second term

1 is the coefficient of x in the third term, <u>but is omitted </u>


In order to understand this in a better way, see the figure attached, where the algebraic expression is composed by one term.

AleksandrR [38]
Hello!

You have to find out how many cubes are in 1 layer

You do this by multiplying the amount across by the amount along the side.

12 * 6 = 72

Divide this by the amount of cubes

288 / 72 = 4

There are 4 layers

The answer is 4

Hope this helps!
