Answer 1

5x+8y

Explanation:

We can first open the brackets by using the distrubitive propety.

2(x+4y)+3x

2x+8y+3x

Now we can combine like terms.

5x+8y.

I combined the 3x and the 2x. This works because imagined I have 3 of something then I got 2 more of that something I would now have 5 of that something.

Hoped this helped,
