What is the coefficient in the expression 3x/13+4 ?

OpenStudy (hzro):

The answer is 3.

OpenStudy (will.h):

The coefficient is normally the value that is multipleD by the variable We have the variable here as x What is multipleD by x would be named as coefficient Make sense?

OpenStudy (will.h):

Yet aftet simplifying the expression we would have 3x/17 So that changes the whole thing

OpenStudy (mathmale):

There is only one coefficient of x in this expression: 3x/13+4. Sometimes the constant term (here, it's 4) is called a coefficient also. So, focus on the coefficient of x. It is not 3. Consider \[\frac{ 3x }{ 13 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 13 }x\]

OpenStudy (will.h):

Yeah exactly

OpenStudy (kise_ryouta):

so what do i do after that
