Journal Entry 2: "Unlike Terms"

X is different than x^2, because they are different terms and one of them is squared.
Example you have a rat and a cow, you can not add both of them because they are two
different kinds of animals.We can combine terms that have the same exponent, because
they both have the same terms. Example you have two cow and then another cow shows
up, that means now you have three cows.They are called like terms, in order to add and subtract integers you need to circle the like terms.Yes 8m-2m is the same of 8m+-2m
because they have the same term which m.
