precal · Answer

let me define like terms for you
2x+x  is consider like terms
so 2x+x=3x
whereas  2x+y  are not like terms
like terms have to be the same

precal · Answer

you could mention algebraic properties

precal · Answer

talk about associative property

precal · Answer

so like terms are terms that are the same
3xy+2x   are not like terms
whereas 3xy+4xy  are like terms
3xy+4xy=7xy

precal · Answer

you can write your essay......
