How to identify the factors in the expression 6(x+5)

In this expression it is important to identify each component. To start, the "6", the "x" and the "5" are all terms. From here, we can identify the individual components specifically. The "6" located on the outside of the parenthesis is the constant. It is what you will multiply, or distribute, to the "x" and "5" located inside the parenthesis. The "x" is the variable. The "5" is the other constant in the equation. The "+" is the operator. The parentheses are used to put algebraic components in groups.
