Identify Like Terms

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 3x and 5x are like terms, while 3x and 4y are unlike terms.

Front

Identify the like terms in the expression: 7y + 5r - 4r + 2w + r

Back

5r, -4r, and r are like terms.

Front

Are the terms 7a and 4c like or unlike?

Back

Unlike.

Front

Are the terms 3a and -3b like or unlike?

Back

Unlike.

Front

What is a constant term?

Back

A constant term is a term that does not contain any variables. For example, in the expression 5g^3 + 2, the constant term is 2.

Identify the constant term in the expression: 5g^3 + 2

Back

2 is the constant term.

Front

What are the coefficients in the expression: 4x + 3y - 2z?

Back

The coefficients are 4, 3, and -2.

Front

Identify the like terms in the expression: 2x + 4y - 3x + y - x

Back

2x, -3x, and -x are like terms; 4y and y are also like terms.

Front

What is the difference between like terms and unlike terms?

Back

Like terms have the same variable and exponent, while unlike terms have different variables or exponents.

Front

Can constants be considered like terms?

Back

Yes, constants can be considered like terms if they are the same number.
