Question

Explain how to tell if two terms are alike. Show one pair of like terms that each contain at least two variables. Show how to add these like terms. Then show a second pair of terms that are NOT alike, but share some of the same variables. Explain why they are not alike

Answer 1

hey

Explanation:

Answer 2

In order to tell if two terms are alike, check it’s variables. If they have the same variables they are like-terms. For example, 2kl + 3kl are like terms because they have the same variables. In order to add them, you need to add the coefficients. A pair of terms that are not alike are 3kl and 5kps. They are not alike because they don’t have the same variables.

Hope this helps!
