To simplify the expression \( 2x + 11y - 1 + 5x - 3y + 7 \), we can combine like terms.

  1. Combine the \( x \) terms: \[ 2x + 5x = 7x \]

  2. Combine the \( y \) terms: \[ 11y - 3y = 8y \]

  3. Combine the constant terms: \[ -1 + 7 = 6 \]

Putting it all together, we have: \[ 7x + 8y + 6 \]

So the correct simplified expression is: 7x + 8y + 6.
