Remember

Remember
  • Terms are separated by + and – signs, and each term keeps its own sign.
  • A coefficient multiplies a variable; a constant has no variable.
  • Like terms have the same variable part and can be combined by adding coefficients.
  • A grouped expression such as (x + 3) can be treated as one factor.
  • In a model, a coefficient is often a rate and a constant is a starting amount.
