Which of the following pairs of terms are like terms? 2x and 3y 2x and 4x2 x and x2 5x3 and 6x3

OpenStudy (radar):

You are looking for two terms that have the same variable to the same degree

OpenStudy (radar):

There is only one pair above that meets that requirement.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that equation is accullt x and x^2

OpenStudy (radar):

that makes them a different degree so cross them off your selection.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K so these choices left 2x and 3y 2x and 4x^2 5x^3 and 6x^3

OpenStudy (radar):

One of those can be eliminated because they have different variables The other can be eliminated because they are not the same degree (although the variable is the same)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is the answer 5x3 and 6x3

OpenStudy (radar):

Actually I can't say they are the same because they are a different degree.

OpenStudy (radar):

You have won a free trip to the snack bar.

OpenStudy (radar):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (radar):

Note you can add them getting 11x^3 or subtrtact them getting -x^3

OpenStudy (radar):

Good luck with your studies.
