What are like and unlike terms

In algebra, Like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match. Unlike terms are two or more terms that are not like terms, i.e. they do not have the same variables or powers. The order of the variables does not matter unless there is a power.

Hope this will help you..

The terms that have the same variables and the same powers are called like terms. Eg. - 5x and 84x, 6x2 and 66x2.
The terms that have different variables or have different powers are called unlike terms. Eg. - 8x and 8x2.
