A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression (e.g. 4 in 4x).
The 2 and + are out since they don't have variables(and the + is just a +).
So 4 and x are left. x is a variable, not a coefficient, so the last(and correct) answer is 4.

Answer: 29
explanation: you add 1 to get 2, you then add 2 to get 4, then 3 to get to 7, then 4 to get to 11, then 5 to get to 16, then 6 to get to 22, then 7 to get to 29
This is how I would solve it:
1st # = x 4(x+1)=3x+18
2nd # = x+1 4x+4=3x+18
4x=3x+14
x=14
To check: 15x4=60; 60-42=18. <u>1st # = 14; 2nd # = 15.</u>
