Answer:

7x + 8y - 5

Explanation:

Like terms are terms with the same variable as well as the same amount of said variable:

Set the expression:

4x + 3y - 4 + 5y + 3x - 1

4x + 3x + 3y + 5y - 4 - 1

Combine like terms:

(4x + 3x) + (3y + 5y) + (-4 - 1)

(7x) + (8y) + (-5)

7x + 8y - 5 is your answer.
