Simplify (Can you explain because I'm clueless)

3y+2y+y^2+5+y

3y+2y+y^2+5+y

Combine like terms.

y^2 + 6y + 5

This time it has 2 letters

3y^2+2xy+1+3x+y+2x^2

Combine like terms. What do you get?

ok maybe

12xy^4+1 ?

think this is as far as it can go, the original equation

To simplify the given expression, let's combine like terms.

First, combine the terms with the same variable, y:
3y + 2y + y^2 + 5 + y

Combine the y terms:
3y + 2y + y + y^2 + 5

Now, let's add the coefficients of the y terms:
(3 + 2 + 1)y + y^2 + 5

Simplify the coefficients:
6y + y^2 + 5

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6y + y^2 + 5.
