Question

Which of the following pairs of terms is a pair of like terms?*

(a) 7xy, 14yx

(b) m2p, mp2

(c) 6xz, 12 x2 z2

(d) -13x, -13y​

Answer 1

Answer:

Like algebraic terms are the terms who have the same variables but can have different constants.. For example: 2x2 is the constant and x is the variable. power of the variable has to be exactly same for two like terms.. So, (c): 3x³ and (d): 4x³ has powers same i.e. 3.
