Answer 1

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients (numbers in front) don't matter, but the exponents do.

Like terms have exactly the same exponents on the same variables.

$54x^2y^3\text{ and }-12x^3y^2$ are not like terms.

Example: $6x^3y^2\text{ and }-14x^3y^2$ are like terms--same exponents on the x's, same exponents on the y's.

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

two like therms have the same literal part. This is not the case because

x^3 is different from x^2 (for example if x = 2 ; 8 is not 4)

y^3 is different from y^2
