5m and 3mm

Close. But that isn't it. I'll give you another hint. It is not D, either.

A. 4 and 4t with the same numbers?

Yes! Good job!

Hello 

Like terms are terms that can be added together 

x + x are like terms
$$x + x^2$$ are not like terms because they cannot be added. 

5 + 5 are like terms 

5 and 5x are not like terms

anonymous · Answer

I'm only going by the answer that I got graded as correct. (by the FLVS gradebook and what we were specifically were taught) The answer may be wrong, but that is what the curriculum perceives as correct, I guess.

compassionate · Answer

I now question the legitimacy of FLVS...

anonymous · Answer

Haha, I agree.
