What is mean by "Do Follow Backlinks" vs "No Follow Backlinks"?
Do follow backlinks help with SEO and No follow backlinks do not
No follow = search engines will not follow the link.. So if you have a nice fat link with your chosen anchor text, but the backlink is rel="no follow" then you will not be passing any link juice through to your linking domain... No follow links are still fine for gaining traffic from source, but they are useless for gaining ranking within search engines.
Follow = rel="follow"
These are the links you want if you want to gain rankings in the search engines.
This relates to back linking - when you post a link to one of your articles.
Do Follow is code that tells search engines to follow a link to its source. It creates a "ping" which means your link it valid and acknowledged. This helps your articles get found in web searches.
No Follow tells search engines not to follow the link to its source. People can still click on the link to get to your article, but Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines will not follow it and you will get less recognition on them.
As I understand it: Do Follow pings affect your Hub Pages ranking and earnings in a positive way. No Follow has no affect.

It's almost embarrassing to me; but I have no idea how to know what backlinks are DoFollow, and No Follow. Someone please simplify this for me, and tell me how I can know the difference.I can research things and write fairly well, sometimes I can make a nice, pretty hub; but this internet...

I was wondering if backlinking my sub domain will help me rank better in the search engines. I was thinking the more backlinks I have the more link juice would flow to my article? Or will backlinking my subdomain only help me rank for my name ie Nexusx2?
