\large{ \tt{❃ \: EXPLANATION}} :

-
\large{ \boxed{ \tt{LIKE \: AND \: UNLIKE \: TERMS}}}

  • Like terms are those which have the same base. Only coefficients of like terms can be added or subtracted. For instance : We can say 4y and 5y are like terms as they have the same base i.e y

  • Unlike terms are those which have the different base. Unlike terms can neither be added nor subtracted. For instance : We can say 4x and 6y are unlike terms as they have the different base i.e 4x has the variable x while 6y has the variable y.


\large{ \tt{❊ \: LET'S \: START}} :

  • No , x² and x are not like terms since they don't have same base.

  • Yes , 4x and 2x are like terms since they have the same base.

  • No , 2x and 2y are not like terms since they have different base.

  • Yes , 3x² and 6x² are like terms since they have the same base .
