Unlike terms.
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
Like terms
No. For purposes of combining "like terms", you need terms that have exactly the same variables, with the same exponents (if there are any).
terms whose variables are the same.
You add (or subtract) like terms. This will reduce the number of terms in the expression and that is the extent of simplification that you can achieve using this process.
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
like terms - are terms that have identical variable parts and constant terms
Like terms are terms that have the same combination of variables.
Like terms
When the independent variable is of the same degree. Ex. 3x and -5x are like terms. 6 and 9 are like terms. 7x^2 and 9x^3 are NOT like terms.
"Like terms" are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other.
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.
No, 12x and 14y are not like terms. In order to be like terms, they must have the same variables and same exponents. Examples of like terms: 12x and 15x 14x2 and 16x2 Not like terms: 14x and 18y 12x and 16x3
example : 4x + 5b - x + 10c -4c the x's are like terms the c's are like terms
They are like terms.
Complementary
They are terms in which a variable is raised to the same power (index) in both terms. So x2y and -27x2y are like terms but not xy2.
