What are like terms

The video tutorial explains the concept of like terms in algebra. It begins by defining terms as numbers, variables, or products of numbers and variables. The tutorial then discusses factors and coefficients, emphasizing that like terms have identical variable factors. It demonstrates how to identify and combine like terms by adding their coefficients while keeping the variable part unchanged. This process simplifies algebraic expressions and is a fundamental skill in algebra.
