Question

Which of the following best describes the expression 12(x + 3)?

The product of a constant factor 12 and a 2-term factor x + 3
The sum of a constant factor 12 and a 2-term factor x + 3
The sum of constant factors 12 and x + 3
The product of constant factors 12 and x + 3

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Is the product of a constant factor
`12` and a
`2`-term factor
`x+3`

Explanation:

we have

`12(x+3)`

we know that

The algebraic expression is equivalent to the product of two factors

One factor is a constant number
`12`

The other factor is composed by two terms
`x+3`

therefore

Is the product of a constant factor
`12` and a
`2`-term factor
`x+3`
