Answer:

3x + 5y + 22

Explanation:

Given expression:- x + 3y + 2x + 10 + 2y + 12

Here, you can add all the 'x' terms together and 'y' terms together.

There is an 'x' and '2x'.

On adding them, you get 2x + x equals 3x.

Then add the 'y' terms

There is a '3y' and a '2y'. On adding them, you get 3y + 2y equals 5y.

Then add the numbers that are left. 12 and 10.

12 + 10 equals 22.

Then take all the values we got after addition:- 3x, 5y and 22.

2x, 5y and 22 cannot be added together. So, the expression in the simplified form would be:-

3x + 5y + 22
