Like Terms

The video tutorial explains the concept of like terms, which are terms that share the same variable. It provides examples such as 8m and 5m, and demonstrates how to identify like terms in expressions. The tutorial also covers constants, which are always like terms, and provides additional examples to reinforce the concept. The lesson concludes with a summary of identifying like terms.
