Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Coefficients are the numbers in front of (multiplying) a variable.
...
For example, x, 2r, 3w, 4q have the coefficients 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
...
Like terms are variables and the degree of variable.
...
For example, 2a + 4b has two different terms.
 also has two different terms.
...
To simplify 2a + 9a + 4b + 7b, combine like terms to get
11a + 11b
...
To simplify  , combine like degree variable terms, to get
