Question

Which of the following best describes the expression 6(y+3)?

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

Answer 1

Choice C makes the most sense. In this case, the constant factor is 6, which is being multiplied with "the sum of two terms", which is (y+3). The description perfectly matches the equation.
