Question

classify the following into like term & unlike terms. 7xy,9y²-5xy,-2xyz​

Answer 1

Answer:

The terms which have the same literal coefficients raised to the same powers but may only differ in numerical coefficient are called similar or like terms.

For example:

(i) 3m and –7m are like terms

(ii) z and 3/2 z are like terms

The terms which do not have the same literal coefficients raised to the same powers are called dissimilar or unlike terms.
