Question

Which one of the following is an example of like terms?

• A. $6x^2,6x$
• B. $x^2,2x^2$
• C. $x^2,1$
• D. $12,x^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $x^2,2x^2$

Like terms has same variables and exponents. In terms, $x^2$ and $2x^2,$ $x$ is the variable, and $2$ is the exponent in both terms.

Hence, $x^2$ and $2x^2$ are like terms.
