Complete the statement to describe the expression (a+b+c)(d+e+f) the expression consists of _ factors, and each factor contains _ terms. fill in the blanks.

The given expression consists of 2 factors, and each factor contains 3 terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (a+b+c)(d+e+f)

Factors are parts of  expression that are connected by multiplication. we are multiplying  (a+b+c) and (d+e+f) so we said  (a+b+c) and (d+e+f) are factors of the expression.

Hence, there are 2 factors in given expression.

A mathematical expression contains numbers, variables and operators joined by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The parts of the expression that are connected with addition and subtraction are known as terms.

In each factor (a+b+c) and (d+e+f) three terms are connected by addition. Hence, there are 3 terms in both the factors.

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
