Explanation:
A constant is a term in expression which contains only a number (positive, or negative) without any variables (letters). Here an expression is a sum of 2 smaller expressions. The term 5a contains a variable a, so it is not a constant.
The term 2 does not contain any letters, so it is a constant.
Result:
The constant is 2.
