When you add like terms in algebra, you combine their coefficients while keeping the variable and its exponent the same. The exponents themselves do not change; they remain constant as long as the terms are indeed "like" (i.e., they have the same base and exponent). For example, in the expression (3x^2 + 2x^2), you add the coefficients (3 and 2) to get (5x^2).
What else can I help you with?
How do you solve multiplication with like terms?
Just multiply the coefficients, leave the variable the same, and add the exponents.
When you add two terms with different exponential values do you add the exponents together?
No.
When subtracting what to do with the exponents?
It depends on whether you are working with variables. You cannot add terms with variables that have unlike exponents.
How do you multiply and divide numbers with exponents?
If you have like terms then to multiply you add the exponents and to divide you subtract.So, x2 * x3 = x5 and y7 / y5 = y2Also, for example, 2x2 * x3 = 2x5 (we can do this as the terms are like; x's only)But if you do not have like terms then this does not apply.For example, x2 * y3 does not equal xy5.
Terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents?

How do you subtract like variables with different exponents?
You can't. You can only subtract like terms. Like terms must have exactly the same variables and exponents on the variables.
What is terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
like terms
What are terms that include the same variables and their corresponding exponents?
like terms
Terms with the same variables raised to the same exponents?
like terms
When adding numbers with exponents do you add or subtract the exponents?
you do not do anything when you add numbers with exponents. you just figure out the answer. it is only if you multiply numbers with exponents, where you add the exponents..
When multiplying number do you add the exponents?
If you are multiplying powers of the same base (like 24 times 211), yes, you add the exponents.
Algebraic terms that contain the same variables and exponents?
are known as like terms.
What are the steps for multiplying monomial algebraic terms where they have exponents with like bases?
To multiply monomial algebraic terms with like bases, first multiply the coefficients (numerical parts) of the terms together. Then, add the exponents of the like bases according to the exponent multiplication rule, which states that ( a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} ). Finally, combine the results to form the new monomial. For example, for ( 3x^2 \times 4x^3 ), you would multiply ( 3 \times 4 = 12 ) and add the exponents ( 2 + 3 = 5 ), resulting in ( 12x^5 ).
