Question

4(2x + 3) ÷ 5y

From the expression above, provide an example of each of the following: sum, term, product, factor, quotient, and coefficient. If any are not present, write "not present."

Answer 1

2 and 5 are coefficients

2x+3 is a sum

2x, 4, 3, and 5y are terms

(2x+3) ÷ 5y is a quotient

4(2x+3), 2x and 5y are products

2,4,5,x,y are factors

Answer 2

Hey there!

4(2x + 3) ÷ 5y

= 4(2x) + 4(3) ÷ 5y

= 8x + 12 ÷ 5y

= (8x + 12) ÷ 5y

The [sum] appears when you’re ADDING

The [quotient] appears when you’re DIVIDING

The [product] appears when you’re MULTIPLYING

The [difference] appears when you’re SUBTRACTING

So, your sum is in the parentheses. 4 would be your product because you’re expressing it amongst the parentheses. The quotient would be the 5y (or the whole equation. It depends how you look the equation.). Your variable is x & y, whereas your coefficient is 4,2,3, & 5.

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
