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.
