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.

hope it helps
