Answer 1

We can only add or substract likely terms.

a) In this case we have a mass unit (pounds) and a length unit (feet), so we can not add them together. They are not like terms.

b) In this case we have both lemons, so we can do the operation:

`9\text{ lemons}-7\text{ lemons}=2\text{ lemons}`

c) In this case, the birds and seconds are not the same units so the terms are not like terms.

Answer:

a) Not like terms

b) 2 lemons

c) Not like terms
