In an expression like kx, the number k is called the coefficient of the variable x.
Like terms are terms with the same variable part. You add or subtract only the coefficients: 3x−5x=−2x.
The coefficient is the numerical factor in front of the variable
Like terms have the same variable part
When combining like terms, only the coefficients change; the variable part stays
