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.
In an expression, the parts that are added or subtracted are called terms. Each term can consist of a number, a variable, or both, and they are separated by plus (+) or minus (−) signs. For example, in the expression (3x + 5 - 2y), the terms are (3x), (5), and (-2y).
A part of an expression that is added or subtracted is called a "term." Terms can consist of numbers, variables, or a combination of both, and they are separated by plus or minus signs in an expression. For example, in the expression (3x + 5 - 2y), the terms are (3x), (5), and (-2y).
Only like terms can be subtracted or added in algebraic expressions.

Yes, because they both have the same variable at the end. They can be added and/or subtracted with ease!
In an expression, the parts that are added or subtracted are called terms. Each term can consist of a number, a variable, or both, and they are separated by plus (+) or minus (−) signs. For example, in the expression (3x + 5 - 2y), the terms are (3x), (5), and (-2y).

Terms of an Expression
Only like terms can be subtracted or added in algebraic expressions.
The part of an expression that is added or subtracted is called a term. In a mathematical expression, terms are separated by plus (+) or minus (−) signs. Each term can consist of constants, variables, or a combination of both. For example, in the expression 3x + 5 - 2y, the terms are 3x, 5, and -2y.
Yes, all vectors can be added or subtracted.
The numerator is whats being subtracted or added when you are subtracting or adding a fraction
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.
