Question
Identify the like terms in the following expression: 4xy–3y+44y4𝑥𝑦–3𝑦+44𝑦.A.4xy, 44y4𝑥𝑦, 44𝑦B.−3y, 44y−3𝑦, 44𝑦C. 4xy, −3y4𝑥𝑦, −3𝑦D. 3y, 44y
Solution
The like terms in the expression 4xy–3y+44y are 4xy and 44y. These are like terms because they both contain the same variables, x and y. The coefficients (the numbers in front of the variables) do not need to be the same for terms to be considered like terms. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 4xy, 44y.
