Sagot :

Answer:

Two mathematical terms are alike (not alike) , if they have same (different) variables & in same (different) mathematical treatment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two mathematical terms are alike, if they have same variables & in same mathematical treatment.

Eg : 2 xy , 5 xy. These are alike, as they have product of x & y being multiplied with constants.

They can be added, subtracted by adding or subtracting their constants.

2 xy + 5 xy =  (2 + 5) xy = 7 xy

5 xy - 2 xy =  ( 5- 2 ) xy = 3 xy

  • Two mathematical terms that are not alike are : 2 xy & 5xz , as former has variables x & y, latter has variables x & z
