ya i do just what a minute till i write them down

a.the product of two constant factors six and three plus a variable b.the sum of the 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 teams d.the sum of a constant factor of three and a factor with the product of two terms

9. anonymous

is @AbdullahM still helping you

10. AbdullahM

Do you have any idea what the answer is? Any gut feeling after reading the answer choices?

11. anonymous

no

13. AbdullahM

Lets look at each answer choice individually. A. the product of two constant factors six and three plus a variable What does product mean? Multiplication or divison?

14. anonymous

multiplacation

15. AbdullahM

Ok, so then answer choice A when translated into equation becomes: $$\sf 6 \times 3 + y$$ Is that correct? Is that the same thing that we were given earlier?

16. anonymous

no

17. AbdullahM

Exactly, so now we know that the answer isn't A. Which answer choice should we work on next? :)

18. anonymous

b

19. AbdullahM

b. the sum of the constant factors six and three plus a variable Sum means addition or subtraction?

20. anonymous

21. AbdullahM

so we can make that to: $$\sf 6+3+y$$ is that corect?

22. anonymous

no

23. AbdullahM

so next answer choice, which one will it be? (:

24. anonymous

c

25. AbdullahM

c.the product of a constant factor of six and a factor with the sum of two teams product, you said, means multiplication. And sum, you said, means addition. So can you make an equation given what the anwer choice says?

27. AbdullahM

yes, it is $$\ddot\smile$$

28. anonymous

thank you can you help me with another one

29. AbdullahM

sure, make another post and tag me $$\ddot\smile$$
