int 3e^x-5e^{2x}dx=3e^x-5/2e^{2x}+C

Let us look at some details.

Remember:

int e^x dx=e^x+C

int e^{kx} dx=e^{kx}/k+C

Now, let us work on the integral.

int 3e^x-5e^{2x}dx

by applying integral on each term,

=int 3e^x dx -int 5e^{2x}dx

by pulling constants out of the integrals

=3int e^x dx-5int e^{2x}dx

by applying the formulas above,

=3e^x-5e^{2x}/2+C
