Question

Identify terms which contain $x$ and give the coefficient of $x$ in $7x + x{y^2}$

Answer 1

Hint: Try to find the multiple of $x$.

The given expression is $7x + x{y^2}$ which have two terms, precisely $7x$ and $x{y^2}$.The coefficient of $x$ in the first term, which is, $7x$, is $7$ and in the second term it is ${y^2}$.

Note: One can take common x in the given expression and then find coefficient.
