Step 3.1.1

Move $x$ .

$a (x \cdot x) c + a x (- d y) + b y (c x) + b y (- d y)$

Step 3.1.2

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$a x^{2} c + a x (- d y) + b y (c x) + b y (- d y)$

Step 3.2

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$a x^{2} c - a x d y + b y (c x) + b y (- d y)$

Step 3.3

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$a x^{2} c - a x d y + b y c x - b y (d y)$
