1 answer

In the expression \(3r^3 + 10q^3\), the terms are the individual parts that are added together.

The expression consists of the following terms:

  • \(3r^3\)
  • \(10q^3\)

From the list you provided, the terms that apply are:

  • \(3\) (coefficient of the first term)
  • \(10\) (coefficient of the second term)
  • \(3r^3\) (one of the terms in the expression)

The term \(9r^3\) does not appear in the expression \(3r^3 + 10q^3\).

So the correct selections are:

  • \(3\)
  • \(10\)
  • \(3r^3\)
