To determine what the factor in the term in Henry's expression represents, we need to clarify the components involved. Given that Henry is using his digital tokens to play arcade games, we generally consider a situation where:

  • The total number of tokens he starts with is represented by a variable.
  • The number of tokens used or remaining will have a direct relationship with the number of games played.

Based on this context, we can analyze the options provided:

A. The represents the number of tokens that Henry still has on his card. The x represents the number of tokens that Henry still has on his card.

  • This is incorrect because tokens left would not be represented in this way.

B. The represents the number of tokens that Henry has used. The x represents the number of tokens that Henry has used.

  • This option is incorrect as it mixes the usage and the total remaining.

C. The represents the number of arcade games that Henry has played. The x represents the number of arcade games that Henry has played.

  • It could be close if the expression provided relates games to gameplay. However, this is not clear from the information.

D. The represents the number of arcade games that Henry can still play.

  • This option most closely aligns with the idea that the expression expresses remaining capacity to play games based on his remaining tokens.

Based on logical deduction, if the expression represents tokens remaining after games played, it seems likely that option D refers to how the factor would represent the playability based on remaining tokens. Thus, the answer should be:

D. The represents the number arcade games that Henry can still play.
