Question: what is the difference between constant and constant term?
Answer: Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. In 5x + y - 7 the terms are 5x, y and -7 which all have different variables (or no variables) so there are no like terms. Constants are terms without variables so -7 is a constant. ... The coefficients are 4, -5 and 3 and the constant is 6.
