-2x^6y^4+6x^5y^5-4x^3y^5

1) Note that since we have here two factors in this expression, we can distribute the first one over the second and found another (simplified) expression.

2) So, we can write down:


\begin{gathered} (-2x^3y^4)(x^3-3x^2y+2y)_{} \\ -2x^6y^4+6x^5y^5-4x^3y^5 \end{gathered}

Note that since it is an expression, not an equation, there is no further point beyond this.
