The definition of like terms is an expression using terms with the same variables. Yes, 100p and 3000p are like terms that can be combine since they both have the same variable. No, P and P^2 are not like terms and cannot be combine. We cannot combine 2d+2f because they do not have the same variables. An expression cannot have an equal sign because then it will become an equation. Perimeter is the distance around a shape.
