What is the coefficient of x in the expansion of (x-3)^7?
1 Answer
Explanation:
I don't know if you have learnt about Pascal's triangle,
and how to expand a binomial from it

We can for example expand binomial, (possible see more here)
And so on
Notice how the binomial expansion depends of the lines of pascal's triangle,
We can also see the term involving
We look for
(x+y)^7=x^7+7x^6y+...+color(red)(7xy^6)+y^7
We only care about
In your example
color(blue)(7(-3)^6)x=color(blue)(7*729)x=color(blue)(5103)x
The coefficient of
