"Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other.
When you have an expression consisting of several terms added together, and they are not all like terms, and there are like terms separated by unlike terms, you use the commutative law of addition to rearrange the terms so that the like terms are next to each other.

univocal terms equivocal terms analogous terms
"Defined items" are defined in terms of "undefined terms".
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.

"Defined items" are defined in terms of "undefined terms".
Adding together the terms and dividing them by the number of terms gives the arithmetic mean.
