so. But we have to have, like terms to add the because that's part of making it a multiplication problem. If I have three plus three plus three plus three, I write, that is multiplication problem of three time or so Now. In said, if I have X instead of three, I would have four times necks. But I can only multiply them like that if they're all three. So they have to be like terms. They have to be the same number to do that. When I'm multiplying, I can multiply any two numbers together. So if two terms or be added, they have to be like terms. If two terms to be multiplied, must they be like terms? No, they don't have to be like terms to multiply. We can multiply any any terms. Any numbers can be felt
