$$
\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}






ax^b\\




\end{aligned}\end{equation}
$$
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;where $a$ is the coefficient, $x$ is the base and $b$ is the power/exponent. Recall that algebraic terms are separated by $+$, $-$ and $=$ signs. The following &lt;em&gt;algebraic expression&lt;/em&gt; thus has $3$ terms:
$$
\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}






x^2&amp;#43;5x&amp;#43;6\\




\end{aligned}\end{equation}
$$

The following &lt;em&gt;algebraic equation&lt;/em&gt; has $4$ terms involved:
$$
\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}






x-3=y&amp;#43;2\\




\end{aligned}\end{equation}
$$
