Question

Which option has like terms?
a.2x^2 and 4y^2
b.xy and yz
c.3x and and 7x
​

Answer 1

c. 3x and 7x

Explanation:

We have three pairs of two terms and are asked to determine which option has "like terms."

Like terms are two numbers with variables that are the same.

With this information, we can determine which is and which isn't like terms.

a. 2x^2 and 4y^2 are incorrect because the variables within the number do not match, 2x^2 and 4y^2.

b. xy and yz are incorrect because the variables also do not match, xy and yz.

c. is correct because the variables within the two numbers are the same. 3x and 7x.

Answer 2

C) 3x and 7x

Explanation:

Both terms in C have the same variable in which you can combine the terms to make 1. The other ones don't.
