Answer:

5x + 6y + 1

Explanation:

You are also simplifing and collecting the like terms. 3x + 2x = 5x. So that goes first as it appears first in the equation. Secondly, 2y + 4y = 6y, and that adds on to the previous answer. So far we have 5x + 6y. Now just add te 1, as it has no like value.

Answer: 5x+6y+1 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation: to combine like terms that have to have the same variable so you can add them so for example you have 3x+2x which is equal to 5x then 2y+4y which is = to 6y and you also have 1 that isn't adding to anything because the others have variables
