Correct answer:

C) 3x and 8x

Explanation:

At first I thought the correct answer was D.

You may Have thought that too but that is not the correct answer.

You see 3x and 8x are both like terms because they both have x

but..

The other 3 does not have a x it has a y

I hope this helps

Let me know

:)
