Are 8 {x}^(2) y and - 5y {x}^(2) like terms? explain ​

Question

Are

`8 {x}^(2) y`
and

`- 5y {x}^(2)`
like terms? explain ​

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

8x²y & -5yx²

Because,

• Both of the terms have the same variables (x,y).

• The power of the variables (x,y) are same (x²y) in both terms.
• Coefficients do not need to match
