They are "like terms".
No, 12x and 14y are not like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. In this case, 12x has a variable x raised to the first power, while 14y has a variable y raised to the first power. Since the variables are different, they are not considered like terms.
Similar terms or like terms are terms with the exact same variable and the variable have the exact same exponents. So x2 and 2x2 are like terms but x2 and x are not.
