Question

Which terms are like terms in the following expression? 3x + 3xy – 2x + 5y + 5x2

3x and -2x

All terms are alike.

3x, 3xy, -2x and 5y

3x, -2x and 5x2

Answer 1

Like terms can either be

a) Constants like 3, -9, 26, etc.

b) Terms with the same variable or variables attached to them - the terms 5x and 6x would be like terms since they each have a single x attached, but the terms 5xy and 6x would not, since xy and x are distinct values.

The only terms with that property in $3x+3xy-2x+5y+5x^2$ are the terms 3x and -2x.

Answer 2

The terms which are like terms in the expression 3x + 3xy – 2x + 5y + 5x2 are; 3x and -2x.

According to the question;

• We are required to determine the terms that are like terms in the following expression, 3x + 3xy – 2x + 5y + 5x2

The terms which are alike although they have different coefficients but can be added together are; 3x and -2x
