$4x+x+2$
$=5x+2$ (this is standard form)

It has 2 terms: $5x$ and $2$

The degree of a polynomial is the degree of the term with the highest degree.
The degree of a term is the sum of its factor exponents

$5x = 5^1x^1$ has degree 2.
$2 = 2^1$ has degree 1

$5x+2$ has degree 2.

How do you write the polynomial 4x + x + 24x + x + 2 in standard form and how many terms and degree is it?
