Question

Use the expression 5(6 + 4x) to answer the following: Part A: Describe the two factors in this expression. (4 points) Part B: How many terms are in each factor of this expression? (4 points) Part C: What is the coefficient of the variable term? (2 points) Source StylesFormatFontSize

Answer 1

Part A: The two factors are 6 and 4x. Part B: Question is confusing Part C: The coefficient of the variable is 4.

Explanation:

Factors are what gets multiplied to give a product, therefore, 6 and 4x are the products as they are both being multiplied by 5. I don't understand what you are asking for part b. Part C, the coefficient is any number that is multiplied with the variable next to in. For example, in 16x, 16 is the coefficient and x is the variable. In 9y, 9 is the coefficient and y is the variable.
