Answer:

The coefficient 6 in 6x means 6(x) or 6 multiplied by x 6 times.

Explanation:

X could be anything, it is only holding the place of a number. The coefficient 6 before the x is a number being multiplied by the unknown variable, x. For example if x = 2 the expression would turn into 6(2) which equals 12.

Hope this helps! If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask me or your teacher so you can be sure to master the subject. :)
