So I'm going over terms in math (I teach7th grade) and I want to make sure I get this right.

5 - 7y

Are the terms 5 and 7y, or 5 and -7y?

I find this confusing since I know for certain that the coefficients are 5 and -7.

Also, if I were to rewrite the problem as 5 + (-7y), would the terms then be 5 and -7y?
