Just multiply the coefficients, leave the variable the same, and add the exponents.
Yes. When you divide one variable with an exponent from another, you subtract the exponents
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.
Divide coefficients and subtract exponents of the same variable. EX: (20 x6) / (4 x2) = 5 x4
the unknowns must be the same variable and the exponents have to be the same. examples) x4 + y4 cannot be added because they are not the same variable. x3 + x2 cannot be added because they have different exponents. 3y6 + 5y6 can be added because they have the same variable and exponents. (answer: 8y6)

dissimilar terms are terms that do not have the same variable or the variable do not contain the same number of exponents
Just multiply the coefficients, leave the variable the same, and add the exponents.
For each variable, find the smallest exponent in all the expressions. If the variable does not appear in one of the expressions, it's exponent may be taken as 0. Also, remember that if a variable seems to be without an exponent, its exponent is actually 1 (that is x is the same as x1). For example, GCF(a3bc, a2c3, a3b2c3) = a2c. Exponents of a are 3, 2 and 3: smallest = 2 Exponents of b are 1, 0 and 2: smallest = 0 Exponents of c are 1, 3 and 3: smallest = 1 The same rules apply for fractional exponents.

Variable exponents.
You can't. You can only subtract like terms. Like terms must have exactly the same variables and exponents on the variables.
No. For purposes of combining "like terms", you need terms that have exactly the same variables, with the same exponents (if there are any).
Divide coefficients and subtract exponents of the same variable. EX: (20 x6) / (4 x2) = 5 x4
The quotient rule of exponents in Algebra states that dividing expressions with the same base you subtract the exponents. However, the base cannot be equal to zero.The above statement follows this rule in Algebra:xm/xn = xm-n;x cannot equal 0Here's an example:x15/x5 = x15-5 = x10
