The first step is to simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
8x + 2x = 10x
So the expression becomes:
4(10x)^2 - 53
The coefficient of the variable after the first step is 10.
When simplifying the expression 4((8x+2x)^2)−53 , what is the coefficient of the variable after the first step?(1 point)
