Question

$2x$ and $\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)$ are ___ of the algebraic expression $(2x-\frac{1}{2})$.

Answer 1

The 'term' of an algebraic expression is either a single number or variable, or number and variables multiplied together.
When such terms are added it forms an algebraic expression.
So $2x$ and $\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)$ are $terms$ of the algebraic expression $(2x-\frac{1}{2})$.
Here, you should notice that ‘minus’ is associated with the terms.
