Like terms are either___or they are terms with the same___that have the same ___

Answer 1

Like terms are either CONSTANTS, or they are terms with the same VARIABLE that have the same EXPONENT. Some examples: 9x and 5x are like terms because they both have the same variable (x) with the same exponent (1). however, 5 and 5x are not like terms, because one is a constant while the other has a variable. hope this helps you out

Like terms are either (3) exponents or they are terms with the same (1) constant that have the same (2) variables.
