Answer: Number of terms = 4.

Explanation:

The given expression is


32abc+17ab-14bc-5

We need to find the number of terms in this expression.

Terms are either variables or constants or product of both variables and constants. Each term is separated by positive "+" sign.

The given expression can be written as


32abc+17ab+(-14bc)+(-5)

Here, the terms are
32abc,17ab,-14bc,-5.

Therefore, the number of terms in the given expression is 4.
