What can I use both AS and LIKE in this sentence :
- Please do it carefully, as/like I asked you.
Thanks

Do you mean "Why can I use both?"
The technical answer is strictly, you can't. It should be "as" before a phrase.
But like is widely used as if it was a conjunction, so it's becoming ever more acceptable.
Hope helps,
Ian
