i checked a and b their right, lemme check c

michele_laino · Answer

the factors are the terms separated by the multiplication sign

michele_laino · Answer

$$\Large 5 \times \left( {6 + 4x} \right)$$

michele_laino · Answer

so, factors are 5 and (6+4x)

anonymous · Answer

oh

ali2x2 · Answer

oh, so i was wrong too

michele_laino · Answer

in the first factor there is only one term which is 5

anonymous · Answer

i read this in my lesson is the same as what you mean? Factor:

One of the numbers or variables that are multiplied together to produce a product; for example, 2 and x are factors of 2x.

michele_laino · Answer

yes! that's right! nevertheless we have a multiplication between 5 and 6+4x

anonymous · Answer

Alright good i understand why its that. Is everything else correct?

michele_laino · Answer

the second factor is 6+4x, so we have 2 terms, namley:
4 and 6x

michele_laino · Answer

you can view 6x as a monomial, so it represents only one term

anonymous · Answer

so 5 isnt a term but 6 is?

michele_laino · Answer

5 is a term, since it is a factor

anonymous · Answer

oh i see it says in each factor

michele_laino · Answer

yes!
