Similar terms. These are terms in which the variables have the same power in each term, and only the coefficient changes.
If you have a expression that goes; 2x + 5x etc etc Simplifying the like terms is 7x 2x and 5x are like terms, but 2y and 2x are not. The variable needs to be the same.
No. A polynomial is an expression of more than two algebraic terms, and usually contains different powers of the same variable.
In many ways. It really depends on the algebraic expression. If several terms are added/subtracted, you can usually combine similar terms (terms that have the same combination of variables). If variables are multiplied, you can combine the same variable, adding the corresponding exponents. Sometimes expressions get simpler if you factor them; sometimes you have to multiply out (in other words, the opposite of factoring). Quite frequently, you have to use a combination of methods to simplify expressions. Take an algebra book, and look at some of the examples.
SIMILAR TERMS-algebraic terms which have the same literal factors and in which each letter has the same exponent in all of the terms.DISSIMILAR TERMS-algebraic terms which have only one or more of their literal factors are the same.Do you know that kemp jones garbo is the only boy who is hondsome in the world?
are known as like terms.

They are terms that have the same variables like x, 2x and 3x or x2, 2x2 and 3x2
like terms
Similar terms. These are terms in which the variables have the same power in each term, and only the coefficient changes.
To add polynomials , simply combine similar terms. Combine similar terms get the sum of the numerical coefficients and affix the same literal coefficient .

Dissimilar terms on algebra are the expressions that doesn't have the same factors (variables) or powers of the factors. (exponent)Examples:4x + 5b - 2a(43)(52) - 4a + 7z
There is no meaningful way of doing so. x + y = 3 is a linear equation in two variables x2 + x = 3 is a quadratic equation in one variable. Both have the same number of terms but they are not of the same kind.
