Answer:

one because if there's no number like 2 or 3 in front of the variable, then it is one, but we don't normally write it if the coefficient of the variable is one.

Answer:

Coefficient

Explanation:

The number in front of a variable is called the coefficient.

If you have 2x, then 2 would be coefficient of x.

If you have just x, then the coefficient of x is 1, we just don't write it.
