Answer:

8c³

Explanation:

What is a coefficient?

A coefficient is a number that does not stand alone. For example, 3w means 3 times w, and "w" is a variable, so 3 is a coefficient.

How do we find the first term?

We can find the first term by putting the numbers from greatest to least. For example, if we had the numbers: 3x+7p+2 we would rearrange the series to this: 7p+3x+2. The number that comes first in the series would be the first term.
