Step 1.2.1

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$4 x y + 3 x^{2} y - 2 x y^{2} + 3 y - 2 (x y) - (- 2 x^{2} y) - (- 3 x y^{2}) - (4 x)$

Step 1.2.2

Multiply $- 2$ by $- 1$ .

$4 x y + 3 x^{2} y - 2 x y^{2} + 3 y - 2 (x y) + 2 (x^{2} y) - (- 3 x y^{2}) - (4 x)$

Step 1.2.3

Multiply $- 3$ by $- 1$ .

$4 x y + 3 x^{2} y - 2 x y^{2} + 3 y - 2 (x y) + 2 (x^{2} y) + 3 (x y^{2}) - (4 x)$

Step 1.2.4

Multiply $4$ by $- 1$ .

$4 x y + 3 x^{2} y - 2 x y^{2} + 3 y - 2 (x y) + 2 (x^{2} y) + 3 (x y^{2}) - 4 x$

Step 1.3

Remove parentheses.

$4 x y + 3 x^{2} y - 2 x y^{2} + 3 y - 2 x y + 2 x^{2} y + 3 x y^{2} - 4 x$

Step 2

Simplify by adding terms.

Step 2.1

Subtract $2 x y$ from $4 x y$ .

$2 x y + 3 x^{2} y - 2 x y^{2} + 3 y + 2 x^{2} y + 3 x y^{2} - 4 x$

Step 2.2

Add $3 x^{2} y$ and $2 x^{2} y$ .

$2 x y + 5 x^{2} y - 2 x y^{2} + 3 y + 3 x y^{2} - 4 x$

Step 2.3

Add $- 2 x y^{2}$ and $3 x y^{2}$ .

$2 x y + 5 x^{2} y + 1 x y^{2} + 3 y - 4 x$

Step 2.4
