False.
___________________________________
This statement:
____________________________________
" 5x²y and 7xy² are like terms."
____________________________________
is INCORRECT.
___________________________________________
Note: They both contain variables, of the same kind. However, one term—
"5x²y" contains "two x 's and one y"; whereas the other term contains
"one x and two y 's ". As such, they are not "like terms" .
