Monomial

A Monomial is an algebraic expression containing only one term. For example:5, xy, 36x2y, a, 14b are the examples of monomial.
An algebraic expression can have a mixture of numbers and variables, but it does not contain an equals sign.
Subtracting an expression is similar to distributing a negative one because when you subtract a term, you are essentially adding the additive inverse of that term. This is like distributing a negative sign across the terms in the expression, changing their signs. Distributing a negative one involves multiplying each term by -1, which changes the sign of each term. In both cases, the operation results in changing the signs of the terms within the expression.
The expression given is 5 - mn - n. In this expression, the second term is -mn. The coefficient of the second term is -1, as it is understood that when a variable is written without a coefficient, it is considered to have a coefficient of 1.
Only if it has an equality sign otherwise it is an expression.
