Question

A+5a are the following like terms yes or no?

Answer 1

To solve this problem we need the definition of like terms:

• Two terms will be called ",like terms," if they have the same variable or variables.

In this case, the expression we have is:

`a+5a`

The first term is "a", it contains only the variable a.

The second term is "5a" it contains the coefficient 5 and the variable a.

Since the two terms have the same variable, the terms are like terms.

Answer: Yes
