The simplification is 4x2y.

The coefficient would be 4.

Annabelle Gross · Answer 2

This question is a bit problematic because - 2/3x can be understood as (-2/3) * (X) or (-2) / (3X)

But since the question is about coefficient, then it should pose no problem to solve it. Assuming the question mean (-2/3) * (X), then

(-2/3) * (X) * 3Y * (-2X) =

(-2/3 * 3*-2) * X^2 * Y =

(4) * X^2 * Y

That means the coefficient will be 4
