For this question, let's remove theparentheses since nothing is being multiplied by those quantitiesto give us:
2x + 5y + 3x -2y
Now, at this point, notice there are commonterms, like the x's and y's that can be added/subtracted togetherto combine similar terms.
A good way to think about this concept, isby grouping the similar terms together toget:
[2x+3x]+[5y-2y]
Next, follow the computations to combine theterms to get the following:
5 x + 3 x (FINAL ANSWER)

(2x + 5y) + (3x –2y)
= 2x + 5y +3x – 2y
= 2x + 3x + 5y– 2y
= 5x +3y
