Given : The legs of a kitchen table must be twice the height of a coffee table and there are 4 legs on each table Diego is building.The expression he wrote to model his building plans is 4(2x) + 4(x).

The question is asking us to write what the 4 in the expression represent.

Among all the given options :B. 4 represents the number of legs on each table is the right answer.
