coefficient of x means constant with x
x = 1x
then coefficent of x is 1

From www.wikipedia.com: "In mathematics, a coefficient is a constant multiplicative factor of a certain object. The object can be such things as a variable, a vector, a function, etc. For example, the coefficient of 9x is 9. In some cases, the objects and the coefficients are indexed in the same way, leading to expressions such as." Based on this, I'd say the answer to your question is 1.

The coefficient of X can be used in measuring anything from time to distance to volume.
Miles per gallon
Miles per hour
Revolutions per second
From a simple consumer to a scientist the coefficient of X is a very useful bit of knowledge.

the number that comes before x. Like if you had 2x, 2 would be the coefficient of x.

It can be anything you want it to be as far as I am concerned.
I did not know there was a worldwide standard for the coefficient of x.
Couldnt find one on e bay either.
Does one exist?
