The terms are 4y, 5, and 3y. The like terms are 4y and 3y. The coefficients are 4 and 3. The only constant is 5.

explanation:

The coefficients are the numbers that come with the letters. For example, in (4y), the coefficient is 4. It says that y is being multiplied by 4.

The terms are each coefficient-letter pair. For example, 4y is a term. If there is no coefficient on a letter, the coefficient is actually 1.

Like terms are any two terms that have the same letter. So, 4y and 3y are like terms.

Constants are the numbers that stand alone.

note: the letters are actually called variables.
