1 answer

In the expression \(1 + 3b + c + 10a\), the terms are the separate parts of the expression that are added together. The terms in this expression are:

  • \(1\) (constant term)
  • \(3b\) (variable term with the variable \(b\))
  • \(c\) (variable term)
  • \(10a\) (variable term with the variable \(a\))

Now, let's see which of the options provided are terms in the expression:

  1. \(7\) - Not a term in the expression
  2. \(4b\) - Not a term in the expression
  3. \(3b\) - Yes, this is a term in the expression
  4. \(8\) - Not a term in the expression

The correct selection is:

  • 3b
