Answer:
5a^2 +2a
Step-by-step explanation:
Like terms are ones with the same exponent of x. They can be combined.
3a^2 +2a +2a^2
= (3a^2 +2a^2) +2a
= (3+2)a^2 +2a
= 5a^2 +2a
5a² + 2a
[tex] ⇒ \: \rm 3 {a}^{2} + 2a + 2 {a}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]⇒ \: \rm(3 + 2) {a}^{2} + 2a[/tex]
[tex] \rm ⇒ \: 5 {a}^{2} + 2a[/tex]
