Yes.
No, positive numbers and negative numbers are not like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power, which means they can be combined through addition or subtraction. Positive and negative numbers are simply different categories of real numbers, and while they can be added or subtracted, they do not share the same variable component to be considered like terms.
it is numbers that are alike
To add like terms, find the terms that have the same (or no) variable, and combine the coefficients of the terms. For instance, if you have a+b where a and b are real numbers, you can combine them.
Undefined terms are numbers that con't be determined, like 1/0. Not to be confused with irrational numbers, though.
these numbers are call like terms
Like terms are terms that have the same variable, so you can add them together. 2x+3x=10. Since 2x and 3x have the same variable, 2x+3x=5x. Numbers without variables count as like terms.
"Like terms" are terms that have the same variables, but possibly with different numbers. "Collect" means to put them together - add the numbers. For example, in an expression such as: 5x + 3y - 2x You can combine the "x" terms: (5x - 2x) + 3y and add the numbers (this is justified by the distributive property: (5x - 2x) + 3y = (5 - 2)x + 3y = 3x + 3y
The like terms are 3x and -10x as well as -9 and +3
Well, honey, the external terms of a ratio are the first and last numbers in the ratio, while the internal terms are the second and third numbers. So if you've got a ratio like 2:5, the external terms are 2 and 5, and the internal terms are... you guessed it... 2 and 5. Math can be a real hoot, can't it?
the numbers in a ratio called TERMS

If you have like terms then to multiply you add the exponents and to divide you subtract.So, x2 * x3 = x5 and y7 / y5 = y2Also, for example, 2x2 * x3 = 2x5 (we can do this as the terms are like; x's only)But if you do not have like terms then this does not apply.For example, x2 * y3 does not equal xy5.
