which one u think is correct

c

lilianamendez2 · Answer

well c is wrong  You need to combine like terms.  you regroup all the x', y' and numbers together it will result in the expression x + 3y + 5. 
(x) = x
(y) + (2y) = 3y
(4) + (1) = 5.

They are all positive, if u add them and your final simplify answer is x + 3y + 5 i hope  it
