Layne Guerrero · Answer 1

2 x and 3 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Terms that have the same variables and powers are referred to as like terms and in like terms only the numerical coefficient is different.

In 2 x + 4 y + 3 x the Like terms are 2 x and 3 x

Serena Frye · Answer 2

Answer: 5x+4y

Step-by-step explanation:

You can only combine the like terms if the letters are the same like how 2x and 3x are the same. Since it said to add I added them together and got 5x+4y I did not add 4y to anything because it doesn't share any like terms together.
