Answer:

Coefficients are 6 and 4. The exponents are 3 and 1.

Explanation:

The coefficient of a term is the number next to variable, the number that the variable is multiplied by.

Remember that if you are subtracting by a term, you are adding the "negative" term.

Meaning:

6x³ - 4x = 6x³ + (-4x)

The exponent of a term is the power (the little number on top). When the exponent (power) is not shown, it is just 1.

Meaning:

-4x = -4x¹
