I will use this expression as an example:
-2x + 7y - 5
Now, I know that this expression literally means " negative 2x plus 7y minus 5".
But, I prefer to look an expression like this as simply the sum of 3 terms. The terms are: -2x, 7y, and -5.
So, I prefer to deal with the expression more like -2x + 7y + (-5)
Is this proper?
-2x + 7y - 5
