We call a number that has no variable attached to it, a constant. A number attached to a variable, as in 3x, is called a coefficient.
Characters that appear in front of variables are often; either a constant (any designated number) which is often called a coefficient, a different variable, or an operator such as an integrand or derivative.
The number in front of the variable is called the coefficient
not unless you know what number the variable stands for
'-3' is the co-efficient of 'y'. The number attached to the variable is the co-efficient. A coefficient of a variable is the numeral right next to the variable in question. So in the expression 8-3y+1 the 3 (or is it -3? I'm not sure) is the coefficient of y.

That refers to a variable attached to an object - also known as a field.
a variable minus a number and the same variable is b-6b= -5b
Let's look at and example: 4x + 8x = 48. Since there is two of the same variable on the same side, we can add them together, as they are the same. So 8 + 4 = 12. So it looks like this: 12x = 48 Now in order to work out the answer, we have to isolate the x on one side of the equation. The easiest way to do this is not to move the variable, but to move the number attached to it. In this case, it is the 12. In any case, if a number is attached to a variable, it means that the number attached, is meant to be multiplied by the variable. 12 multiplied by x = 48 Since we are moving the 12, we have to make it's sign opposite, since it is multiplying by the variable, to make it opposite we have to make it 12 dividing by. x = 48 divided by 12. 48/12 = 4 x = 4.

the number next to a variable that multiplies the variable
Just the number, for example: 7x the variable is 7. The variable is the number without the variable(x,y,z, etc.)
the coefficient of the variable
Yes since a number and a variable and a number are a symbol.
