Final answer:
The factors in the expression 4(m + 6) are '4' and '(m + 6)'. Here, '4' multiplies the sum '(m + 6)', making them factors of the product. Therefore correct option is C
Step-by-step explanation:
The student asked to identify the factors in the expression 4(m + 6). In mathematics, factors are numbers or expressions that are multiplied together to get a product. In the given expression, '4' and '(m + 6)' are the factors.
The number '4' is the coefficient which multiplies the sum '(m + 6)'. This is in line with the property that states the coefficients (numbers placed immediately to the left of each formula) indicate the relative numbers of entities involved in an expression.
Therefore, the correct option is C: '4 and (m+6)'.
When simplifying expressions, it is important to eliminate terms wherever possible and to check if the answer is reasonable.
