To solve this problem, let's focus on the ways we can get x in the problem.
First, we have x and 14.
We get 14x from this.
Next, we have 1 and −23x
Multiplying these two together, we get
−23x
Adding these two together, we get 14x−23x=−9x
We could also expand everything out. Using the Distributive Property, we get
x7−7x6+10x5−13x4+8x2−9x+14
Thus, the coefficient is -9.
So our answer is -9.
