Have the same variables raised to the same powers?
It depend entirely on the expressions you are comparing.
In algebra terms that has same variables and powers?
They are called "like terms".
How you combine like terms?
you take numbers with the same variables and combine them together. ex. 2x+6x-10=30 combine 2x and 6x by adding 8x-10=30
How are exponents and powers different?
They are not. Exponents, powers and indices are terms used for the same thing.
What is a like term in math?
Two terms that have the same variables and you can combine them in addition. For example, 3x and 34x have the same variable, and when you add them, they combine to form 37x. 4y and 4 do not have the same variable and you cannot combine them in addition. For example, 4y + 4 equals 4y + 4; it cannot be simplified or combined.
Like terms have the same variable but may be raised to different powers?
No. Like terms should contain the same variable or variables, raised to the same powers. Like terms are those that can be combined by addition or subtraction.
Have the same variables raised to the same powers?
It depend entirely on the expressions you are comparing.
What are two with the same variables raised to the exact powers?
Like terms.
In algebra terms that has same variables and powers?
They are called "like terms".
How you combine like terms?
you take numbers with the same variables and combine them together. ex. 2x+6x-10=30 combine 2x and 6x by adding 8x-10=30
How do you combine like terms?
To combine like terms in an algebraic equation, first of all, the variables must be the same. Ex. 2x +3x =5x 2x +3a= not able to do This is because you cannot compare things of two different kinds. Also, you must have the same amount of exponents, or the numbers must be to the same power.
How are constant variables different from independent variables?
Constants stays the same independent variables is the variable that is being manipulated
Do atoms of different elements combine the same?
they combine with themselves atoms of different elements connot combine with each other wothout making a new molecule

How do you use variable in an addition or subtraction?
well, if you want to add apples to bananas you can't do that it's the same with variables, the coefficients can be different but to add and subtract the variables have to be the same for ex: you can't do 4x+3y because they have different variables you can do 4x+3x because they have the same variables all you do is add the coefficients and keep the variable so you would get 7x
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.
