The coefficient is the number in front of the variable.

For example:

2x 2 is the coefficient

5y 5 is the coefficient

The degree is the exponent of a variable.

For example:

y "y" has an exponent of 1, so the degree is 1

The variable that has an exponent of 1 is 3x, so the coefficient of the term is 3
