What is a like term?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ann [662]1 year ago
4 0

In an expression, two or more terms are like terms if they have the same variable and exponents.

For example the terms:

2a and -8a → these terms have the same variable "a" and the same exponent "1"

9y³ and 8x⁴ → these terms have different variables "y" and "x" and different exponents "3" and "4", so they are not like terms.

Constants, for example, -10 or 6, are also considered to be like terms.
