like terms not like terms 3x, 5x 5xy, 2yz 2x^2, 8x^2 2x^3, 5x^6 3xy, -5xy \(5 \sqrt 2\), \(-8 \sqrt 3\) \(\sqrt 2\), \(-5\sqrt 2\) 3x, 4y

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

To have like terms, you need to have the same variables, or the same things multiplying the numbers. Like terms can be added together. Not like terms cannot be added together.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You are correct. These two are NOT like radicals.

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

sqrt2 is about 1.41 sqrt3 is about 1.73 They are different; therefore if you multiply them by the same number (7), they will still be different.
