Question

Two unlike terms cannot be added or

• A. subtracted
• B. multiplied
• C. divided
• D. both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is A subtracted

Let us assume two unlike terms be $2x$ and $4y$
Addition: $2x+4y$
Subtraction: $2x-4y$
Multiplication: $2x.4y=8xy$
Division: $\frac{2x}{4y}=\frac{x}{2y}$
Therefore, there is no change in adding and subtracting two unlike terms.
So, two unlike terms cannot be added or subtracted.
