Step 1

Given;


\text{That Bobbi grouped the cards 2, x and 5 as like terms}

Required;


To\text{ agr}ee\text{ or disagr}ee\text{ with him}

Step 2

Like terms are terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x²) are the same. For example, 2x² and x² are like terms while 2x² and x are not like terms.


2\text{ and 5 are constants and x is a variable.}
\begin{gathered} \text{Therefore, the cards Bobbi picked as like terms 2,x and 5 are not like terms} \\ \text{Therefore, I disagre}e\text{ with Bobbi} \end{gathered}

Therefore, I disagree with Bobbi. 2 and 5 are like terms but 2,x, and 5 are not like terms.
