Like terms are terms that are equal, which may be grouped together using the distributive property. Here are some examples:
2*3 + 2*5 = 2*(3+5) = 2*8 = 16. (Here the like terms are 2.)
3*4 + 6*4 = (3+6)*4 = 9*4 = 36. (Here the like terms are 4.)
x*y + x*z = x*(y+z). (Here the like terms are x.)
When you say "Like terms are terms whose variables are the same or equal".
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
