Question

Hey guys please check my answer.

Answer 1

Which of the following best describes the expression 4(y + 6)?

A. The product of a constant factor of four and a factor with the sum of two terms
B. The sum of a constant factor of six and a factor with the product of two terms
C. The product of two constant factors four and six plus a variable
D. The sum of two constant factors four and six plus a variable

Answer 2

I think it's C am I correct? :)

Answer 3

Here is a little hint,
Since y is variable, it means the factor (y+6) can not be constant.

Answer 4

So... It's B? :O

Answer 5

Hmm let's break B down and see if that works.

`The sum of` `a constant factor of six` `and` `a factor with the product of two terms`

So we have a constant factor of 6
which is being added to the product of two other things.

That would look something like this: 6+x*y

Answer 6

darn it e.e

Answer 7

so.. :/ ugh I'm not the best one at math..

Answer 8

Word stuff can be tricky, ummm
When I look at this: 4*(y+6)

I would describe it as... the product of two things.
one of them is a number (or constant), the other is a sum.

Answer 9

They made this one kinda tricky, threw a lot of unnecessary words in :P

Answer 10

so it's A or D e.e

Answer 11

and it has to match those hints e.e

Answer 12

You have two things multiplying together, 4 and (y+6).
When we multiply stuff together, we call this a product, yes?

So you have the product of two things...

Answer 13

A. The product of a constant factor of four and a factor with the sum of two terms
Sol - Here the two terms are there but one of them is a number and not a variable. So cannot be called a term.

B. The sum of a constant factor of six and a factor with the product of two terms
Sol - It is not a constant factor of six. So this cannot be it.

C. The product of two constant factors four and six plus a variable
Sol - This exactly defines what the equation is.

D. The sum of two constant factors four and six plus a variable.
Sol - It is not a sum but a product. So this cannot be it.


Final Answer - C

Answer 14

so it was C? :O

Answer 15

Terms are separated by addition or subtraction.
Here is an example of two terms: x+9
Here another example of two terms: y+6

No. It's A.

Answer 16

thanks :D

Answer 17

Why isnt it C ? Cant understand that.

Answer 18

I explained that above :D

(y+6) is not a constant factor. It varies since y is a variable.
