the variables are just the letters, in this case "x" and "y", and the coefficients are just the numbers in front of them, 75 and 25.

a term is a group that's delimited by a + or a -, so we have two terms here, 75x and 25y.

she makes $25 for dog-walking

1 job.............. 25(1)

2 jobs...........25(2)

3 jobs...........25(3)

x jobs............25x

now, the pizzeria earnings, she makes $75 a shift

1 shift...........75(1)

2 shifts.......75(2)

x shifts........75x.

Part A: The coefficients (numbers) are 75 and 25, while the variables (letters) are x and y.

Part B: There are two terms, meaning that this expression is a binomial. The two terms are 75x & 25y

Part C: The term in the expression that shows the total earned from pizzeria is 75x, which, when simplified, will give you the pizzeria term.

hope this helps
