Answer 2

Like? @hhelpplzzzz

Answer 3

I'm not sure what is meant by like.

Answer 4

ummm.. is it asking u to separate the like terms? :/ @hhelpplzzzz

Answer 5

im not sure what it means:(

Answer 6

But, assuming that "like" means that each of the variables are the same degree (raised to the same exponent), I see a couple of the choices that fit that description.

Answer 7

me neither >.>

Answer 8

But there will be two sides if you group them by the power of their exponents. @ospreytriple

Answer 9

Never mind. I must have misread.

Answer 10

There would be three sides.

Answer 11

I'm thinking about it this way; in each of the choices there are
1) constants
2) x variable
3) y variable
Are there any choices in which both x and y are raised to the same exponent?
For example, in choice 1, x has exponent 1 and y has exponent 2. Are there any other choices where x and y have these same exponents?
