Like terms are a pair of numbers with the same base and exponent. So an example of a like term would be 2x+4x <-- these are like terms because they have the same base (x) and the same exponent (1) so to add them u simply add the number of x and your done so 2x+4x=6x... an example of a pair of non like terms would be 4y³-2y² <-- although they both contain the same base (y) they have different exponents (3 and 2). so for a pair like this you cannot simplify it any further.

What is a term with identical variables?
" like terms"
What is the like terms for y 1.2y 1.2z?
1.2z is a like term. y and 1.2y is not like terms because there are two of them.
What is the polynomial of 2 x?
this term 2x is not a polynomial. this term is a monomial. since only one term was listed it can not be a polynomial. A polynomial is like four or more terms. a trinomial is three terms and a binomial is two terms.
What is the like term 3x plus 7?
There are no like terms in the expression 3x + 7
What is a like term of 5x?
A like term of 5x is any term that has the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 3x or -2x are like terms of 5x because they both contain the variable x raised to the first power. Like terms can be combined through addition or subtraction, while terms with different variables or powers cannot be combined.
