"Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other.

How do you add like terms with squared variables for example 2x plus 4x2?

Terms like 2x and 4x2 are not like terms. In order for terms to be like terms, they must have the exact same variables with the exact same exponents on them. This means that 5x3 and 7x3 are like terms, but 2x and 4x2 are not. To add or subtract like terms, simply add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers in front) and keep the variable part the same. For example, 5x3 + 7x3 = (5 + 7)x3 = 12x3, and 3x2 + 6x2 = (3 + 6)x2 = 9x2. But, since 2x and 4x2 are not like terms, 2x + 4x2 = 2x + 4x2. It just cannot be simplified any more than that.

Yes, you must always adhere to the terms of the court order for child support regardless of the situation that arises.
