Question

Identity the pairs of like terms among the following.

$11xy$ and $\frac{-5}{2}xy$

Answer 1

Like terms are the terms which have same variables raised to the same power.

In $11xy$ and $\frac{-5}{2}xy$ variables are $xy$ which is same in both the terms.

Hence, $11xy$ and $\frac{-5}{2}xy$ are the like terms.
