I think I remember it meaning when two or more terms(parts of the equation) are similar like 7 + 3x = 12x - 5. 5 & 7 are like terms. So maybe likely is it as a verb or something like that? Idk. At least I tried.
When the terms have the same variable like 2x and 3x or x2 and 2x2
1.2z is a like term. y and 1.2y is not like terms because there are two of them.
Here is an expression with four terms:3 cows + 4 chickens + 6 cows - 2 chickensThe two 'cow' terms can be combined: 3 cows + 6 cows = 9 cowsThe two 'chicken' terms can be combined: 4 chickens - 2 chickens = 2 chickensSo after combining like terms, the expression is: 9 cows + 2 chickens .
