b. It has three factors and the factor (5 + y) has one term.
c. It has three factors and the factor (5 + y) has two terms.
d. It has two factors and the factor (5 + y) has two terms.

Answer 1

The expression (5 + y) · 8 has two factors, which are (5 + y) and 8. The factor (5 + y) is a binomial and contains two terms, 5 and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression (5 + y) · 8 is described by its factors and terms. We can break this expression down into its components. In this case, the expression has two factors: (5 + y) and 8. The first factor, (5 + y), is a binomial meaning it contains two terms, which are 5 and y. The correct answer is that the expression has two factors and the factor (5 + y) has two terms, which makes our answer: d. It has two factors and the factor (5 + y) has two terms.
