Final answer:

Seema's expression is '2x^a - y - 5', combining a term with x having an unspecified exponent and a coefficient of 2, a term with a coefficient of -1 for y, and a constant term of -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression Seema writes down is 2x^a - y - 5. This includes a term with x^a where 'a' is some positive integer exponent representing the degree of the term (since it's not specified in the question), a coefficient of 2 for the x term, a coefficient of -1 for the y term, and a constant term of -5. The actual power of x ('a' in this case) is not given in the question, so it remains generic.
