Part A:
A variable is a factor that can change its value in an expression while a constant is a value or factor that does not change in an expression.
A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression.

Therefore, given the expression 35x + 200y, the variables are x and y while the coefficients are 35 and 200.


Part B:
A term in an expression is either a single number or a variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together usually separated by the + or - signs which make up an expression.

Therefore, given the expression 35x + 200y, there are two terms which are 35x and 200y.

Part C:
Given that she earns $200 each month working at the restaurant, the term in the expression that shows the total earned from the restaurant is 200y.
