When we have 2 algebraic terms, we can add them or subtract them if they have the same variable to the same power

Examples


\begin{gathered} 2x,5x \\ 3y^2,-5y^2 \\ z^4,10z^4 \end{gathered}

We call them like terms because they have the same variable to the same power

The algebraic expressions 4x and 3x are called like terms because they contain the same variable and the same power.

The answer is like expressions
