Question

i inserted a picture of the question Fill in the blank (check all that apply).3 and _____ are like terms.A. 7B. 3xyC. xD. 21 xyE. 3yF. 21x

Answer 1

Loke terms are those whose variables and exponents are the same.

For example:

10 and 6 are constants, both are like terms.

x and -8x have the same variable (x) and the same exponent (1), so both are like terms.

2y² and -9y² have the same variable (y) and the same exponent (2), so both are like terms.

So, the given value"3" is a constant, so any term that is also a constant will be considered a like term to "3". From the options listed, the only one that is also a constant is "7".

Then: 3 and 7 are like terms. (option A)
