Question from Deejay, a student:

How about when the given has no degree and the other has a constant only, For example 2x + 7,
where's the leading term and what is its leading coefficient?

Hi Deejay,

the variable $x$ can be written $x^1$ so the expression $2x + 7$ is of degree 1.

Does this help? Write back if you need more assistance.
