The document defines key terms used in algebraic expressions:
1) A variable represents an unknown value and can be letters or symbols like "B" in the expression "12 + B".
2) An algebraic expression uses variables with numbers and operations like "a + 2" or "3m + 6n - 6".
3) A coefficient is the number multiplied by a variable, like 6 is the coefficient of m in the expression "6m + 5".
4) A term refers to a number, variable, or their combination using multiplication or division, like "a" and "2" are terms in "a + 2".
5) A constant is a number that cannot change
