Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To subtract the given expressions, distribute the negative sign to the terms in the second parenthesis and then combine like terms: $4x^2y - 6x^2y = -2x^2y$, $5xy - 3xy = 2xy$, and there is no term to combine with $-7xy^2$, so it remains as is.

Subtract - (4x2y+5xy)−(6x2y+7xy2+3xy)\left(4 x^{2} y+5 x y\right)-\left(6 x^{2} y+7 x y^{2}+3 x y\right)(4x2y+5xy)−(6x2y+7xy2+3xy)

Subtract
- $\left(4 x^{2} y+5 x y\right)-\left(6 x^{2} y+7 x y^{2}+3 x y\right)$
