Answer: LAST OPTION.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise is important to remember the following definitions:

  1. The sum is the result obtained when we solve an addition.
  2. The product is the result obtained when we solve a mutiplication.
  3. Given a multiplication
    (a)(b)=c, "a" and "b" are factors and "c" is the product.

In this case, you have this expression:


7(y + 5)

Notice that the there is an addition of two terms (
y and
5) inside the parentheses.

Outside the parentheses you can notice that the number
7 is multiplying the sum of the terms mentioned before.

Therefore, you can conclude that the best description for this expression is:

The product of a constant factor of seven and a factor with the sum of two terms.
