Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Only the numerical coefficients are different.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

2x and 3y : rejected because variables are different

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3x and 4x : : variable is x, its same ! and power is also same. so they are like terms
