Answer: Number of terms = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is
[tex]32abc+17ab-14bc-5[/tex]
We need to find the number of terms in this expression.
Terms are either variables or constants or product of both variables and constants. Each term is separated by positive "+" sign.
The given expression can be written as
[tex]32abc+17ab+(-14bc)+(-5)[/tex]
Here, the terms are [tex]32abc,17ab,-14bc,-5[/tex].
Therefore, the number of terms in the given expression is 4.
