Yes, I can help.

Answer 5

Okay, so notice that -18xy has two different variables: x and y. In order for another term to be like terms, it must also include both x and y.

Answer 6

Does that help?

Answer 7

kinda

Answer 8

For example, 2y and 4y are like terms because they both have the y variable. 3x and 5x are like terms because they both have the x variable. 2xz and 5xz are also like terms because they share both the x and z variables.
