Question

The area of a rectangle with width x and length 6x and 6x^2. What does the coefficient 6 mean in terms of the problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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.
