Question

Use the expression 9(7 + 2x) to answer the following:

Part A: Describe the two factors in this expression.
Part B: How many terms are in each factor of this expression?
Part C: What is the coefficient of the variable term?

Answer 1

Part A: 2 factors

Part B: 2 terms

Part C: 18

Explanation:

1. There are two factors because the expression is simplified to 63 + 18x and 9 can be divided by each.

2. There are two terms. A term is a value seperated a sign (minus, addition sign).

3. The coefficient is 18 because 9(7 + 2x) is equal to 63 + 18x. The coefficient is the number before the varible.

Hope this answer helps :D
