Answer:

`(2x)/(5)\text{ and }(x)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given:

`(2x)/(5)-5.2y+2.2+(x)/(3)`

Find:

the like terms

Solution:

Like terms are ones with the same variable or set of variables. Here, the terms have variables x, y, (none), and x. The two x-terms are "like" terms:

`\boxed{(2x)/(5)\text{ and }(x)/(3)}`
