4 (3x + 5)
Coefficient of x =

Respuesta :

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by expanding the expression:

4(3x+5)

Distribute the 4 to each of the numbers in the parentheses

12x+20

The coefficient of x is basically what is being multiplied by x. In this scenario, we can expand 12x to be...

12*x

Which means that the coefficient of x is 12

12x+20

12x+20=0

12x=-20.

12÷12x=-20÷12

x=-5/3

x=negative five over three
