Terms: 4k, -10, -k

Like terms:
There are two like terms: 4k and -k (since they both have k)

Coefficients:
Just read the expression from right to left and write down the numbers. If there is a variable without a number (like -k) then the coefficient is either 1 or -1

So the coefficients are: 4,-10,-1

Constant terms (terms without any variables): -10

Group like terms

Combine like terms

Identify the terms, like-terms, coefficients, and constants in: 4K-10-K then simplify.
A term is a variable, a constant, or a product of the two, so here, the terms are: 4K, -10, -K Note: Be sure to include the negative sign when there is one.
Like-terms are those terms that have the same variable.
The like-terms here are: 4K and -K
A coefficient is the number that multiplies the variable.
Here, the coefficients are: 4 (from the 4K) and -1 (from the -K because there is really a -1 multiplying the K to give you -K)
A constant term is a term with no variable.
Here, the constant is -10 (Be sure to include the negative sign when there is one)
To simplify, you simply combine the like-terms.
4K-10-K = 4K-K-10 = 3K-10 ...and that's it!
