Answer:
Basic algebra is the field of mathematics that it one step more abstract than arithmetic. Remember that arithmetic is the manipulation of numbers through basic math functions. Algebra introduces a variable, which stands for an unknown number or can be substituted for an entire group of numbers
In algebra you have terms, variables and co efficients
Terms are single numbers, variables, or the product of a number and variable. To find a term in an expression the number which comes before and after (+ , - , × , ÷) is a term
Ex:- 6x , 5y
A coefficient is a number multiplied by a variable.
Ex:- Co efficient of 6x is 6
A variable does not have a specific value and is usually denoted by any alphabet in its small form
Ex:- x , y , z
Here is a example combining all the above mentioned
Ex:- 6x + 1
In the above example 6 is a co efficient, x is a variable and 6x and 1 are terms.
Hope it helps
