Question

Determine which of the following terms are not considered to be like terms with the expression -6s ( the two is squared like on top)2t

select all situations that apply

Answer 1

`s^2t^2`

`4(s\cdot t)`

`-6(s^2+t)`

Explanation:

We want to select all the terms that are not considered to be like terms with
`-6s^2t`.

The terms that are like terms with
`-6s^2t` must have
`s^2t`.

It doesn't matter the coefficient.

So we can easily see that all the following are not like terms with
`-6s^2t`:

`s^2t^2`

`4(s\cdot t)`

`-6(s^2+t)`
