Why can we combine like terms?

We can combine like terms because when two terms have the same variable it is possible.

Such as 17x + 3x. The variables are x. Since these both are the same we can now add them. 17x + 3x = 20x. If they are not the same variable. Then we can not add them to get a sum.
