Answer:
There are three terms in the expression.
Explanation:
Some background knowledge:
Algebraic expressions do not include equal signs.
Terms are generally values that are added or subtracted.
For example,
2x+6 has two terms which are 2x and 6.
Here:
The term 2x has a coefficient (the number next to a variable) of 2 and the term '6' is a constant.
Please note that a constant is a number that does not include a variable.
LET US SOLVE OUR CASE:
Given the expression
15.5 - (6 x 2) - (16 ÷ 4)
Please note that:
- (6 x 2) is one term. Because of the parentheses, it groups it as one term.
- (16 ÷ 4) is also one term. Because of the parentheses, it groups it as one term.
Therefore, there are three terms in the expression.
