Answer:
(c) 5x and 3x, and 4 and 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Like terms have the same variable(s) to the same power(s).
The terms of this expression are ...
- x^3: variable x, power 3
- 5x: variable x, power 1
- -3x: variable x, power 1
- 3y: variable y, power 1
- 4: no variable
- -1: no variable
The like terms are {5x, -3x}, which have the x-variable to the first power, and {4, -1}, which have no variable.
