Question

What are the like terms in 9x+4y-5

Answer 1

Answer:

There are no like terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms have the powers and \ or variables. The Coefficients does not have to be the same in like terms.

$9x$ and $4y$ are not like terms. They contain a different variable. If they were 9y and 4y (or the other way around with x), then they would have been like terms.

-5 has no other "like terms". All other numbers in the expression have variables, but -5 does not.

There are no like terms in the given expression.
