For an expression/equation such as this example, -12x^4-8x^2-7, the terms would be as follows:
Term 1: -12x^4
Term 2: -8x^2
Term 3: -7
This particular equation has 3 terms, 3 coefficients, but only 1 leading coefficient. These are as follows also:
Coefficient 1: -12
Coefficient 2: -8
Coefficient 3: -7
And the last one:
Leading Coefficient: -12
Generally the answers are written in descending order according to their exponential power above the variable, which in this case is "x". This means the greater the power of "x", the sooner it will be written down. X^4 is first, x^2 is next, and x^0 is last.
Note: x^0 always equals 1.

What does in terms of x mean?
If you are trying, for example, to find y in terms of x, you want to get an equation with only y on one side equal to an equation with x in it on the other side.
The elimination method is useful when you can eliminate one of the variable terms from an equation by adding or subtracting another equation?
True
Why do you isolate the variable on one side the the equation when solving a linear equation?
Isolating a single variable in terms of the rest of the equation provides a solution to that variable. That is, if you know the equation that equals the variable, then you can figure out its value.
