Answer:

3a+13b+2c

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms are terms with the same variable, which in this case is 5b and 8b.

Using the distributive property,

5b+8b=(5+8)b=13b

Since there are no other like terms, all you have to do is use 13b in the expression instead of 5b and 8b, and you end up with

3a+13b+2c

Hope this helps!
