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.

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.
