Answer:

12

Explanation:

The coefficient of a term is the numerical quantity placed before multiplying a variable. For example, the coefficient in 5a + 6 is 5.

Given the information above, the number 12 is the coefficient because it's placed before the variable, a (and we're multiplying the two).

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
