No. For purposes of combining "like terms", you need terms that have exactly the same variables, with the same exponents (if there are any).

What is the answer to x plus y plus x?

x+y+x =2x +y... I got this by simply combining like terms. I added the x's( 2x) and kept the y there which gave the answer


How does a line look like in math terms?

X (or Y) = (one value)


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.


Are x and 9x like terms?

Yes, because they both contain the variable "x". y and 9x would not be like terms because they don't have the same variable. x and 9x2 would not be like terms because the variables are not raised to the same power.


Y is directly proportional to the square of x when x equals 4 y equals 25 Find an expression for the terms of x?

i think it would be like this: 4:25 :: 1:6.25


How do you factor x2 plus y2?

do you mean 2x + 2y? and if you do you would get this 2(x+y) but that's as far as you can go seeing as their are no more common terms You factor x^2+y^2 like this. x^2+y^2=(x+y)(x-y) +2y^2 or You can do (x+iy)(x-iy)


Range in math terms?

The range is the y value like the domain is the x value as in Domain and Range.


If tan y equals to x where y is acute find 2 sin y in terms of x?

2sin(y) = 2x/sqrt(1+x^2)


If tan y equals to x where y is acute find 3 cos y in terms of x?

3cos(y) = 3/(sqrt(1+x^2)


What is X squared minus y squared divided by x minus y?

(x^2 - y^2) / (x - y) Apply the difference of squares formula: (x + y)(x - y) / (x - y) Assuming x is not equal to y, we can cancel terms leaving x + y When x = y, the denominator becomes 0, and the equation gives no information.


What are the terms that include the same variable?

There is no simple answer. For example 3x^2y and 4 xy^2 have the same variables, x and y. But there is no name for such two terms.


What are the like terms in 8y plus y?

Like terms have the same variable, but can have different constants. 8y : variable is y, constant is 8 y: variable is y, constant is 1 (but this doesn't need to be shown) So yes, theses are like terms.
