Answer:

3x+y+10

Explanation:

Since we are trying to combine like terms, we must rearrange the terms, and group the terms with an x, together, a y together, and the constants. Doing that, we get

(5x+x-3x)+(2y-y)+10

Now we start with the x terms, and we add 5x+x=6x and then 6x-3x= 3x, so you have 3x, and now for the y terms

we have 2y-y=y and lastly we have a ten, so adding them together, we get

3x+y+10
