Question

Match the like terms.

• A. $-7x$
• B. $8x^2$
• C. $-4x^4$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}{x}^3$

Answer 1

Like terms are the terms that have the same variables raised to same powers. Coefficients do not need to match.

So, $4x^2$ and $8x^2$ are like terms.

$-7x^3$ and $\frac{3}{4}{x}^3$ are like terms.

$\frac{1}{2}x$ and$-7x$ are like terms.

$-\frac{3}{8}{x}^4$ and $-4x^4$ are like terms.
