Like terms can be added or subtracted.
5 Apples + 6 Apples = 11 Apples
Let A = An Apple: 5A + 6A = 11A
However, if the terms are not like, you cannot add or subtract them.
5 Apples - 3 Bananas = ????
Let A = An Apple, B = A Banana: 5A - 3B = ???
Like terms should share the same units, power, coefficients etc.
Like Units:
5 in + 3 in = 8 inches
5 in + 1 foot = 5 in + 12 in = 17 in <--- here we had to convert a unit
Unlike Units:
5 inches + 9 seconds = ???
3 rubber bands + 1 light year = ???
Like Powers:
5A2 + 9A2 = 14A2
6 square feet + 4 square feet = 10 square feet
Unlike Powers:
5A2 + 5A3 = (5A2)(1+A) = ???? <--- i was able to simplify a little here, but still not combine all terms
6 meter/second + 1 meter/second2 = ???
Like Coefficients:
10A + 90A = 100A
2AB + 3BA = 2AB + 3AB = 5AB <--- this is just a multiplicative property (AB=BA)
Unlike Coefficients:
10A + 9B + 8C = ???
Only like terms can be added or subtracted. 10m and 1s cannot be added; but divided, 10 m/s becomes a velocity.
It is an addend or subtrahend but almost nobody uses those terms.
Only like terms can be subtracted or added in algebraic expressions.
Well it depends on what you mean, in math terms will usually mean the parts of an expression that are added or subtracted but not multiplied. Ex. 3x^2+2x+4 The terms here are 3x^2, 2x, and 4.
It means that the dimensions of all terms agree with the basic rules of mathematical operations. It also means that only terms with the same dimensions are added or subtracted.

Yes, because they both have the same variable at the end. They can be added and/or subtracted with ease!

Yes, all vectors can be added or subtracted.
The numerator is whats being subtracted or added when you are subtracting or adding a fraction

For the employee - it will be added to his/her net income For the employer - it will be subtracted from their net income
if two forces act in same direction they r added and if they act in opposite direction they r subtracted
