The terms having the same literal coefficients are called like terms. They may differ only in their numeral coefficients.
Given terms: 4x,−3y,−x,23x, 45y and y
Here, 4x,−x,23x are like terms, as each has the same literal coefficient 'x'.
Here, −3y, 45y and y are like terms, as each having the same literal coefficient 'y'.
Therefore, like terms in the given group are 4x,−x,23x and −3y, 45y,y.
