Mehek (mehek14):

do you know what coefficient means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not at all not really that good at math....

Mehek (mehek14):

it is the number that is multiplied by the variable

Mehek (mehek14):

your variable is P

Mehek (mehek14):

so what is being multiplied to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9

Mehek (mehek14):

no not just 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 times 9 then p is equal to the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so confusing doess this mean its 14

Mehek (mehek14):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 * 9 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

126

Mehek (mehek14):

it's both of them multiplied

Mehek (mehek14):

that makes the coefficient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like I said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You see.. since 9, 14, and P are being multiplied to each other, you only need a solid number. This is why you multiply 9 and 14 to get the coefficient of 126. 9*P*14 = 126P
