    The total value would increase.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    No matter what x is, as long as it is not zero, the value will increase, as 6 > 2, so 6, no matter what it is multiplied by, will end up greater than 2 multiplied by the same number.

    Changing the coefficient of x to 6 changes the meaning of expression as 5 is added to 6 times x

    Solution:

    Given that number 2 in the expression 5 + 2x is called the coefficient of x

    We are asked to find what happens when changing the coefficient to 6 change the meaning of the expression

    In the expression,

    5 + 2x

    This means 5 is added to 2 times x or 5 is added to twice of x

    Number 2 is called coefficient of x

    When we change this coefficient to 6, the expression becomes,

    5 + 6x

    So now the meaning of expression becomes,

    5 is added to 6 times x

    So changing the coefficient of x changes the meaning of expression
