I think it is helped by the "(of an equation)". It's a bit ambiguous otherwise.

didn't the math tag make it clear?

  Comments:
The meaning of the word is not clear from the word "term". As 
it stands, it could mean "term" as in "terminology". Also, 
this is a productive suffix in mathematics. For example, 圧力
項, "the pressure term", so it should be marked as potentially 
being a suffix.
