Question

How many like terms are in the expression? 14x-14y+7-x+z+2x

Answer 1

There should be 3 terms because X is a term, Y is a term, Z is a term, and Integers (such as -5 or 5) are terms.

Answer 2

The number of like terms in the given expression are:

3

( 14x , -x and 2x)

Explanation:

Like terms--

The like terms are the terms which have the same variables with the same power.The coefficients of such terms may vary.

The expression is given by:

14x-14y+7-x+z+2x

There are total 6 terms in given expression.

The number of terms with variable x are: 3 i.e. 14x , -x and 2x

The number of terms with the variable y is: 1 i.e. -14y

The number of terms with variable z is: 1 i.e. z

and the number of constant term is: 1 i.e. 7

Hence, the number of like terms are: 3
