How many terms are there in the expression 2x - 5y + 3 + x? 3 4 5 6

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

what do u think it is? btw terms r for example 2x

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

terms r separated by a plus or minus sign

OpenStudy (rc3212):

so look at the expression and see how many signs there are separating the numbers and letters

OpenStudy (evansanchez):

3?

OpenStudy (rc3212):

there are 3 signs separating how many numbers and letter?

OpenStudy (evansanchez):

oh its 6?

OpenStudy (rc3212):

no every term is separated by a plus or minus sign

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

the terms r 2x, 5y, 3, and x

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

so what would be the answer

OpenStudy (evansanchez):

5?

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

i gave u 4 terms how is it 5?

OpenStudy (evansanchez):

maybe try seperating with commas, and i'd see that its 4, thank you, have a nice day.

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

i did separate with commas.......

OpenStudy (evansanchez):

like i said, thank you

OpenStudy (rc3212):

it would be 4 just remember that all terms are separated by plus or minus signs and after the term is another sign which separates the terms
