A. Fill in the blank. Choose your answer in the word bank below.
term constant
multiplied
variable coefficient

A is a single mathematical expression, which is either a single number

(positive or negative), a (a letter) or numbers & variables together.
Some terms contain variables with a number in front of them; the number in front of a
variable is called a , and a number on its own (without a letter beside it) is
called .
