No, 6ab and 4ba are not like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers. In this case, the terms have the same variables, 'a' and 'b', but the order in which they appear is different. Therefore, they are not considered like terms in algebraic expressions.

JudyYep! Because with a little rearrangement, this 4ba becomes 4ab. You can do this because, well, in multiplication this works. I mean, 2 x 3 is the same as 3 x 2 right? So to be like terms you have to have the same variables in both terms, and in both you have an a and a b being multiplied together- its just easier to see if you rearrange it (but not necessary)

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.
