Any ideas?

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

Nope ;-;

Factors are numbers that multiplied to together to produce a product. For example in the product ab; a and b are the factors.

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

hmm....

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Let a=5 and b=6+4x in your question

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

k

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Part A: one factor is 5 and the other factor is 6 + 4x

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Part B: 5 has one term and 6 + 4x has two terms because in the sum a + b; a and b are called terms.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Part C: the coefficient of the variable term is 4 because that is the constant that multiplies x.
