Question

Use the expression 5(6 + 4x) to answer the following:

Part A: What is the first factor in this expression? (2 points)
Part B: What is the second factor in this expression? (2 points)
Part C: How many terms are the first factor of this expression? (2 points)
Part D: How many terms are the second factor of this expression? (2 points)
Part E: What is the coefficient of the variable term? (2 points)

Answer 1

Part A: The first factor in the expression 5(6 + 4x) is 5.

Part B: The second factor in the expression 5(6 + 4x) is (6 + 4x).

Part C: There is only one term in the first factor of this expression, which is 5.

Part D: There are two terms in the second factor of this expression, which are 6 and 4x.

Part E: The coefficient of the variable term is 4, since the variable term is 4x and the coefficient is the number multiplied by x, which is 4 in this case.
