What is the coefficient of x in (x3+x2+x+1)(x48x3+17x223x+14)?

I would show all the steps to the problem, but that would be a bit time consuming, so I will highlight the way to go. 

 

We just have to use the distributive property to get x3(x48x3+17x223x+14)+x2(x48x3+17x223x+14)+x(x48x3+17x223x+14)+1(x48x3+17x223x+14)

 

Eventually, we get x77x6+10x513x4+8x29x+14

 

So the coefficient of x is -9. 

 

Thanks! :)
