Question

Use the expression 5(6 + 4x) to answer the following: Part A: Describe the two factors in this expression. (4 points) Part B: How many terms are in each factor of this expression? (4 points) Part C: What is the coefficient of the variable term? (2 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2 factors: 5 and (6+4x)

B. 5: 1 term  

(6+4x): 2 terms

C: The coefficient is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors are the parts of expression separate by multiplications, so there are 2 factors: 5 and (6+4x)

The terms of each factor are the terms separate by the sign + or -. So the term of the factor 5 is 1 and the terms of the factor (6+4x) are 6 and 4x

The coefficient of the variable term is the number that is beside the variable. The coefficient of x is 4.
