How is the expression (5 + y) ⋅8 described by its factors and terms? it has two factors and the factor (5 + y) has one term. it has three factors and the factor (5 + y) has one term. it has three factors and the factor (5 + y) has two terms. it has two factors and the factor (5 + y) has two terms.

Choice D
It has two factors and the factor (5+y) has two terms


Explanation:

(5+y)*8 is in the form P*Q where
P = 5+y
Q = 8
So we have two factors multiplied together. A factor is simply a number that helps multiply to a larger one. Another example: 14 has the factors 7 and 2 because 7*2 = 14

The factor 5+y has two terms which are 5 and y. The terms are separated by a plus sign. If you had something like 5-y, then you can write it as 5+(-y) and you'd still have two terms.
