are x^2 and 6x^3 like terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont think they are?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to have the same value for the exponent on x to have like terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about 2x and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, because they both have "x" to the first power.

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

these are like terms because of x and x - same value exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank you so much! :)
