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 Yeah, it doesn't factor across all terms. Unless they really mean "factor out the largest thing you can from as many terms as you can".

@Bronwyn @groink FWIW the problem appears once on the web, allegedly as a "community contribution" on Brainly[.com] from 2023, which also asks for the factors without comment.
