Answer 1

Hey Randa!
Terms are separated by addition/subtraction.
Example:
\(\large\rm 17x^2-5y^2+4z^2+74w^2x^2\)
Think of this example as:
\(\large\rm term1-term2+term3+term4\)

3 addition/subtraction symbols, so 4 terms in total! :)
How bout with your problem? Any ideas?

Answer 2

Answer 3

Count the addition and subtraction symbols.
Your number of terms will be one more than that.
