one that won't talk to one another because they don't like each other... NO, seriously, they are terms that are different. For example x^2+2x+3x-4x^2. The x^2 terms are like terms and the x^2 terms and the x terms and unlike because they are different. Just like x and y, or apples and Oranges.

How do you combine unlike terms?
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.
Can two unlike terms be factored?
I don't know for sure, but I think the answer is no. Sorry if it is wrong!
What is 2x³y² plus 7x²y²-3xy plus 2y³?
They cannot be combined, being unlike terms.
Can you multiply unlike terms?
Yes, you can. For example 3x times 4y = 12xy.You cannot however, add like terms (to combine them, that is. There isn't anything wrong with adding them up, 3x + 4y is acceptable). For example, 3x + 4y is as simplified as it can get.
What are like and unlike fractions?
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
Can you subtract unlike terms?
No. You can't subtract unlike terms
How do you combine unlike terms?

If terms are not like terms then they are?
Unlike terms.
What do you call the terms that have different variables and exponents?
Unlike terms.
Are 6 and 9y unlike terms?
Yes, 6 and 9y are unlike terms. The 6 is a constant and 9y is constant attached to a variable.
Whats an example of an unlike term?
For example x and y are unlike terms
4x -7x is this like terms or unlike terms?
11
Are these terms like or unlike -14 27 -6?
They are like terms.
What is unlike terms of algebraic expression?
Terms with different powers of the variable.
A polynomial with three unlike terms?
A trinomial.
When the letters and exponents in two terms do not match is called what?
Unlike terms, possibly.
Are polynomial and trinomial the same?
A trinomial is a polynomial. All trinomials are polynomials but the opposite is not true. a trinomial= three unlike terms. a polynomial= "many" unlike terms.
