Coefficients are the numbers in front of variables. Constants are not tied to any variable. Variables are letters.
3 is a coefficient.
4 is a constant.
-1 is a coefficient.
You can combine two coefficients if they are tied to the same variable. So since 3 and -1 are tied to x, you can combine them to get 2x.

coefficients are the numerals in front of the variables
5x^3,25xy^2,128z^3 the coefficients are 5,25,128
constant terms are terms of only numbers
like 45,9876,2 etc
like terms are terms having the same variables raised to the same power
like 23xyz^3,2z^3yx,-98yz^3x

3 is a coefficient. 4 is a constant. x is a variable.

ok your question is a little confusing b/c ITS NOT ACTUALLY A QUESTION!!!
The coefficient of 3x is 3
The coefficient of -x is -1
The constant term is 4
Like terms are 3x and -x b/c they can be added 2gether to get 2x.
