Answer:

2

Explanation:

You want the count of negative terms in the simplified form of -3x² + 2y² + 5xy - 2y + 5x² - 3y².

The expression is simplified by combining like terms.

-3x² + 2y² + 5xy - 2y + 5x² - 3y² = (-3+5)x² +5xy +(2-3)y² -2y

= 2x² +5xy -y² -2y

There are two negative terms in the simplified expression.
