I have a math problem that is possibly a brain glitch or possibly something I don’t understand.

For the expression 5x+3y+10

It says to identify the factors (coefficient and sum of terms)

What are they saying? I don’t see a factor here we can take out

@Bronwyn the terminology seems slightly off…

I think “factors” would be anything multiplied by another, both coefficients and variables.

I’m guessing “sum of terms” is the sum of coefficients, which is the expression with 1 for each variable.

So my guess is they want:
5,x,3,y
18
