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.

What precedent did George Washington set for future presidents?

George Washington was asked to run for a third term in office and declined because he felt we would wind up with a government like England with a King at the head of government.

Thereafter there was introduced an amendment to the constitution limiting presidential terms to two.


How many terms can the us president serve?

The US President can serve a maximum two full terms. One term is four years. A president who finishes another president's term which has less than two years to go, can still serve two more full terms. Therefore, in theory, it is possible to serve for 10 years in this special case.

What does it mean if two terms are like terms?

Two terms are considered like terms if they have the same variables raised to the same powers, allowing them to be combined through addition or subtraction. For example, (3x^2) and (5x^2) are like terms because they both contain the variable (x) raised to the second power. However, (2x) and (3y) are not like terms because they involve different variables. Combining like terms simplifies expressions and makes calculations easier.
