Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the only way to multiply 2 numbers from each of the polynomials and get an x term is to multiply a constant and an x term.

The only ways to do that is to multiply -6x by 3 and 7x by 2.

After you're done multiplying, just combine the 2 like terms:

-18x+14x

=-4x

Therefore, the coefficient of the x term is -4.
