Question

In your own words, define "like terms".

Answer 1

Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. For instance, 4^2 and 7^2 are like terms, but 4^2 and 7 are not.

Answer 2

Like terms- things that are the same

3x +5x+6=3

Anything is behind the equal stays the same;)
