Question

Which of the following best describes the expression 2a + 3b + 4c + 5d?

a.The product of four sums; there are four terms
b.The sum of four products; there are four terms
c.The sum of four products; there are eight terms
d.The product of four sums; there are eight terms

Answer 1

The answer to your question is answer choice B). The sum of four products; there are four terms

Explanation: You can easily cross out C and D since they both say it has 8 terms, which clearly isn't true. We also know that these numbers are being added. "Sum" is the term we use for addition. "Product" is the term we use for multiplication.

Answer 2

D

Answer 3

It's not D, D says there are 8 terms. As you can see, there are only 4 terms. D says there are 8 terms.
