Evie Armstrong · Answer 1

The product of three sums; there are three terms

Caylee Gibson · Answer 2

The expression is composed of 3 terms: 3x, 2y, and 8z.

3x: this term is a product of 3 and x

2y: this term is a product of 2 and y

8z: this term is a product of 8 and z

Therefore, even though they are being added, there are only 3 products and 3 terms
