Solution

Check if the pairs are unlike or like.
Given, pairs are $\frac{2}{5} x, - 3 x$ .
Two or more terms can be called ‘like terms’ if they have
same variable
same degree
Otherwise, they are called ‘unlike terms’.
The given set of terms $\frac{2}{5} x, - 3 x$ can be called like terms because both the terms have the same degree $1$ and same variable $x$ .
Hence, the terms $\frac{2}{5} x, - 3 x$ are like terms.
