Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total pounds for 2 apples and 3 blueberries

To find the total pounds of fruit when buying 2 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of blueberries, we add the number of pounds of each fruit. So we calculate \(2 + 3\).
\(2+3 = 5\)

Step2: Calculate total pounds for \(x\) apples and \(y\) blueberries

To find the total pounds of fruit when buying \(x\) pounds of apples and \(y\) pounds of blueberries, we add the number of pounds of each fruit. So the total is \(x + y\).

Answer:

Total pounds, 2 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of blueberries: \(5\)
Total pounds, \(x\) pounds of apples and \(y\) pounds of blueberries: \(x + y\)
