No, because they can't simply be added together.
For example:
2x and 3x are like terms and can simply be added to be 5x.
If x = 3, 2(3) + 3(3) = 15, which is 5(3)
2x and 3x(squared) can't be added together to make 5x.
If x = 3, 2(3) + 3(9) = 33, which is 11(3).

What do you call the terms that have different variables and exponents?
Unlike terms.
When subtracting what to do with the exponents?
It depends on whether you are working with variables. You cannot add terms with variables that have unlike exponents.
Terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
like terms
What is a term with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
They are known as like terms.
How are exponents and powers different?
They are not. Exponents, powers and indices are terms used for the same thing.
What do you call the terms that have different variables and exponents?
Unlike terms.
How do you subtract like variables with different exponents?
You can't. You can only subtract like terms. Like terms must have exactly the same variables and exponents on the variables.

What are terms that include the same variables and their corresponding exponents?
like terms
What is terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
like terms
Terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
like terms
What is a term whose variables and exponents are the same?
These terms are called like terms.For example: x and 2x are like terms.But: x3 and 4x2 are not like termsbecause although the variables are the same, the exponents are different.
Algebraic terms that contain the same variables and exponents?
are known as like terms.
What are Terms that have identical variables and exponents called?
identical identities
What is a term with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
They are known as like terms.
How are exponents and powers different?
They are not. Exponents, powers and indices are terms used for the same thing.
Is x and y like terms?
No. For purposes of combining "like terms", you need terms that have exactly the same variables, with the same exponents (if there are any).
