#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#
