Step 1.1

Add $5 x y$ and $8 x y$ .

$2 x y - 5 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} + 4 x^{2} y - (13 x y - 3 x y^{2} - 3 x^{2} y + 12 x y^{2})$

Step 1.2

Add $- 3 x y^{2}$ and $12 x y^{2}$ .

$2 x y - 5 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} + 4 x^{2} y - (13 x y + 9 x y^{2} - 3 x^{2} y)$

Step 1.3

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x y - 5 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} + 4 x^{2} y - (13 x y) - (9 x y^{2}) - (- 3 x^{2} y)$

Step 1.4.1

Multiply $13$ by $- 1$ .

$2 x y - 5 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} + 4 x^{2} y - 13 (x y) - (9 x y^{2}) - (- 3 x^{2} y)$

Step 1.4.2

Multiply $9$ by $- 1$ .

$2 x y - 5 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} + 4 x^{2} y - 13 (x y) - 9 (x y^{2}) - (- 3 x^{2} y)$

Step 1.4.3

Multiply $- 3$ by $- 1$ .

$2 x y - 5 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} + 4 x^{2} y - 13 (x y) - 9 (x y^{2}) + 3 (x^{2} y)$

Step 1.5

Remove parentheses.

$2 x y - 5 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} + 4 x^{2} y - 13 x y - 9 x y^{2} + 3 x^{2} y$

Step 2.1

Subtract $13 x y$ from $2 x y$ .

$- 11 x y - 5 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} + 4 x^{2} y - 9 x y^{2} + 3 x^{2} y$

Step 2.2

Add $- 5 x^{2} y$ and $4 x^{2} y$ .

$- 11 x y - x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} - 9 x y^{2} + 3 x^{2} y$

Step 2.3

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

$- 11 x y + 2 x^{2} y - 6 x y^{2} - 9 x y^{2}$

Step 2.4

Subtract $9 x y^{2}$ from $- 6 x y^{2}$ .

$- 11 x y + 2 x^{2} y - 15 x y^{2}$
