Answer:

the numbers are like terms because they both do not have variables nor exponents.

LIke terms are numbers or vairables with the same variables or powers.

Explanation:

Here are some examples of like terms

23x and 15x

both of these are like terms because they both have the same vairable of x.


15^(4) and
20^(4)

These are both like terms because the powers are both 4.


x^(2) and
x^(2)

These are both like terms because the variables both have the same powers which are both 2.
