Expressions are defined as, numbers, symbols, and operators (such as +. –, ×, and ÷) grouped together which show the value of something.
In an algebraic expression, a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables are multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.
