like terms
Terms that contain the same variable is called "like terms".
these numbers are call like 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

They are "like terms".
Yes, 3x and x are like terms because they have the same variable raised to the same power.

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.
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.
like terms
Like terms have the same variables in common (that are raised to the same power). In this expression, 17 and 42 are like terms (because neither has any sort of variable; they are constants that can be added together) and 5a and 17a are like terms because they have the same variable (a) raised to the same power (a1, which is just written as "a").
