Answer:

Terms: 4x, -
(x)/(2)

Coefficients: 4,
(1)/(2)

Explanation:

The terms of an expression are the numbers and variables that are being added. In this expression 4x is being added to -
(x)/(2). This means that they must be the terms. The coefficients are the constants that come before a variable. A variable is an unknown number represented by a letter, in this case, x. So the coefficients are 4 and
(1)/(2) because both these numbers are being multiplied by a variable.
