Which of the following are like terms?


15y4,16y3


8y6, 6y8


16y2, 12y


13y25, 2y25


Sagot :

Answer: D) 13y^25 and 2y^25

Like terms involve the same variables, and each of those variables must have the same exponents.

Another example of a pair of like terms would be 5x^3y^2 and 7x^3y^2. Both involve the variable portion "x^3y^2" which we can replace with another variable, say the variable z. That means 5x^3y^2 becomes 5z and 7x^3y^2 becomes 7z. After getting to 5z and 7z, it becomes more clear we have like terms.
