You start by
(a) noticing that you misspelled <u>too</u>
(b) reviewing your text so you know what the different words mean: sum, product, term, etc.
A sum is two terms separated by a + or - sign
(a)
56xy + 5 is a sum
5 - 6x is a sum
(b) Terms are separated by + and - signs. So, the terms are
<u>56xy</u>, <u>5</u>, <u>-6x</u> and <u>y/20</u>
(c) -6x is the product of -6 and x. -6 is the coefficient, and x is the variable.
56xy is also a product of two factors: 56 and xy. But, xy is also a product, so 56xy is really a product of three factors.
(d) a quotient means division. y/20 is a quotient.
