Yes, because they both contain the variable "x".

y and 9x would not be like terms because they don't have the same variable.

x and 9x2 would not be like terms because the variables are not raised to the same power.

Solve 2x plus 3 equals 9x equals?

Simplifying 2x + 3 = 9x Reorder the terms: 3 + 2x = 9x Solving 3 + 2x = 9x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9x' to each side of the equation. 3 + 2x + -9x = 9x + -9x Combine like terms: 2x + -9x = -7x 3 + -7x = 9x + -9x Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0 3 + -7x = 0 Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -7x = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -7x = 0 + -3 -7x = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3 -7x = -3 Divide each side by '-7'. x = 0.4285714286 or x = 3/7 Simplifying x = 0.4285714286 or x = 3/7


What is -9x-13-9x-31?

To simplify the expression (-9x - 13 - 9x - 31), first combine the like terms. The terms involving (x) are (-9x - 9x), which gives (-18x). The constant terms (-13 - 31) combine to (-44). Therefore, the simplified expression is (-18x - 44).


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.

What is the answer of 9x 4y -6x - 5y?

To simplify the expression (9x + 4y - 6x - 5y), combine like terms. For the (x) terms, (9x - 6x = 3x), and for the (y) terms, (4y - 5y = -1y) or (-y). Therefore, the simplified expression is (3x - y).
