In a chemical Equation ,The reactants are on the left side of a chemical equation and the products are on the right side.The number in front of a chemical formula in a chemical equation is called atoms. They should be a balancing number on both the sides.
A coefficient is a number written in front of a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation. The coefficient can represent the number of atoms, molecules, formula units, or moles of the substance.
A coefficient is the number that goes before an element when your balancing the equation. And a subscript is the number after the element. Subscripts are not changed when you balance the equation.
Balancing an equation is simply a matter of ensuring that the number of atoms of each specific element that you start with (reactants) are the same as the number that you wind up with (products) in the new arrangements or compounds that they form. And a subscript is the number written halfway below the line, to show how many atoms are in a given molecule; it does not appear (contrary to your assertion) in front of chemical symbols or formulas.

How does a subscript affect the element just before it?

That the number of atoms on the left side of the equation must be the same number of atoms that are on the right side of the equation.
This is the law of mass conservation.
The coefficient times the subscripts in a chemical formula show you the number of atoms of each element for each substance in the equation.
"Conservation" in chemical reactions referrs to something that is the same before and after the reaction. When writing a chemical equation, balancing the equation represents the 'conservation of atoms' and the 'conservation of mass'. Add all the atoms of each individual type on the reactant side of the arrow and, individually, the number of atoms on the product side for each type of atom will be the same. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed by a chemical reaction.
