Algebra is easy, all you need to do is concentrate. :)
I will teach you how to identify the terms of expression.
Let's say in,
4x%5E2
4 here is called the coefficient, x is the variable and 2 is the power.
7 is simply a constant.

The difference of equation to expression is they have an equal sign.
Equation: x+3=1
Expression: x+3
To identify the terms,
in -4-3x+2xy
-4 is 0 because -4x%5E0 is -4
-3x is 1 because -3x%5E1 is -3x
2xy = 2 because 2%2Ax%5E1%2Ay%5E1

Hope that helps! :)
