Like terms are a pair of numbers with the same base and exponent. So an example of a like term would be 2x+4x <-- these are like terms because they have the same base (x) and the same exponent (1) so to add them u simply add the number of x and your done so 2x+4x=6x... an example of a pair of non like terms would be 4y³-2y² <-- although they both contain the same base (y) they have different exponents (3 and 2). so for a pair like this you cannot simplify it any further.

What makes two terms like terms?

Two terms are "like terms" when they are the same. For example, in the equation: 14x2 + 9x - 3 = 149x 9x and 149x are like terms because they both have "x" in them. Note that x2 is not a like term to x. You can add and subtract like terms, but not unlike terms. So the above equation could be reduced to: 14x2 - 3 = 140x by subtracting 9x from both sides.
