Coefficients are the numbers directly in front of a variable. Variables are letters in place of numbers in a mathematical problem . For example the expression, "2x" has a variable and a coefficient. The variable is the letter x, and the coefficient is the number 2. The coefficient is NEVER a letter, and is always a number. Coefficients and variables can be used in both scientific and algebraic expressions.
In the context of algebra, "4d" would typically be considered a numerical expression rather than a variable. A variable is typically a letter or symbol that represents an unknown quantity that can vary, while a numerical expression is a combination of numbers and mathematical operations. In this case, "4d" represents the product of the number 4 and the variable "d," making it a numerical expression.
In Algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together.
