Question

Choose the algebraic expression where the number of terms used is 2

• A. $3\times a\times b$
• B. $\frac{3x}{4}+5z$
• C. $4x-y+7$
• D. $49y$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{3x}{4}+5z$

An algebraic expression is a collection of one or more terms which are separated from each other by the signs + (plus) and/or - (minus). Hence $\frac{3x}{4}+4z$ is an algebraic expression with two terms. $3\times a\times b$ has one term; 4x - y + 7 has 3 terms and 49y has one term.
