If terms are not like terms then they are?
Unlike terms.
Can you subtract unlike terms?
No. You can't subtract unlike terms
Are polynomial and trinomial the same?
A trinomial is a polynomial. All trinomials are polynomials but the opposite is not true. a trinomial= three unlike terms. a polynomial= "many" unlike terms.
What does like terms mean?
Like terms are terms with the same variable to the same power. Examples: 2y and 3y are like terms. 2y and 2z are not like terms 4y squared and 3y squared are like terms 4y squared and 3y are not like terms

If terms are not like terms then they are?
Unlike terms.
How do you combine unlike terms?
Unlike terms are terms in an equation that are different. These terms cannot be combined. Like terms, however, can be combined.
Are these terms like or unlike -14 27 -6?
They are like terms.
4x -7x is this like terms or unlike terms?

Is the process of addition and subtraction of radical expression with like and unlike terms the same?
The process is the same for addition and subtraction. The process is totally different for like and unlike terms.
Can you subtract unlike terms?
No. You can't subtract unlike terms
What are unlike terms?
one that won't talk to one another because they don't like each other... NO, seriously, they are terms that are different. For example x^2+2x+3x-4x^2. The x^2 terms are like terms and the x^2 terms and the x terms and unlike because they are different. Just like x and y, or apples and oranges.
What does a commutative property have to do with combining like terms?
When you have an expression consisting of several terms added together, and they are not all like terms, and there are like terms separated by unlike terms, you use the commutative law of addition to rearrange the terms so that the like terms are next to each other.
What do you call the terms that have different variables and exponents?
Unlike terms.
Are 6 and 9y unlike terms?
Yes, 6 and 9y are unlike terms. The 6 is a constant and 9y is constant attached to a variable.
What makes two terms like terms?
Two terms are "like terms" when they are the same. For example, in the equation: 14x2 + 9x - 3 = 149x 9x and 149x are like terms because they both have "x" in them. Note that x2 is not a like term to x. You can add and subtract like terms, but not unlike terms. So the above equation could be reduced to: 14x2 - 3 = 140x by subtracting 9x from both sides.
Whats an example of an unlike term?
For example x and y are unlike terms
