Answer: Coefficient
Explanation:
When solving for an unknown variable that has a number preceding it, you will divide both sides of the equation by this number, which is known as the coefficient.
A coefficient is a number preceding any variable in a function for example, given the function 4x, the variable is 'x' and the number preceding it is 4. This number preceding the variable is what we call 'coefficient' of the variable 'x'
