Answer:
The degree of the polynomial is 1 and the number of terms is 2.
Explanation:
The degree of the polynomial 1 and the number of terms is 2.
The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variable factors.
The degree of a polynomial is the largest degree of its terms.
For example:

The degree is 1 and there are two terms ,
and

Why degree of 1, there is no exponent though?
In math there is an invisible variable and exponent. Pretend x is 3.

Both expressions above have the same value.
12 can be written as
.
You need to solve exponents first so any number multiplied by the power of 0 is 1. x*0 is 1. Therefore, 1 times 12 is still 12.
