-y² +13x +3y -3
Seems the answer is D

Answer 2

Do you want an explanation?

Answer 3

Yes exactly what I was gonna ask for. :)

Answer 4

Okay, when it says "combine like terms" it means to combine similar things.
The 7x can be combined with 6x to make 13x.
Imagine the 'x' means apples.
7 apples plus 6 apples equals 13 apples.
