**Closed system**: In mathematics, a closed system refers to a set of elements that, when subjected to a specific operation (such as addition or multiplication), will always yield a result that is also within the same set.

**Coefficient**: A coefficient is a numerical or constant factor that multiplies a variable in an algebraic expression, indicating how many times the variable is included in a term.

**Commutative property of addition**: The commutative property of addition states that the order in which two numbers are added does not affect the sum, meaning \(a + b = b + a\) for any numbers \(a\) and \(b\).

**Like term**: Like terms are terms in an algebraic expression that have the same variable raised to the same power, allowing them to be combined through addition or subtraction, such as \(3x\) and \(5x\).
