OpenStudy (anonymous):

Coefficient means a number that is being multiplied by a variable. Constants are numbers by themselves without any variables. Operators are the methods of how you are solving this, Ex( addition, subtraction, dividing,etc....) Terms are all the terms you see, the individual numbers which include variables.
