Hi there, it's really not 4 terms it actually 3 terms, I will explain why. If you combine the 2x with the x that would give you 3 terms, not 4 terms. So, there are 3 terms in it, you have to make sure to simplify it.

Answer:

There are three terms on the expression(3x, -5y, 3)

Explanation:

The first step to solve this question is adding or subtracting all the common factors.

After that, each value that is added or subtracted is a term. So

2x - 5y + 3 + x = 3x - 5y + 3

There are three terms on the expression(3x, -5y, 3)
