Answer:
6x^2y^2 + 10x^2y-5xy^2+36y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would distribute each term by multiplying 5xy with 2x, 5xy with -y, and so on. Assuming the "y2" in "6y2" is supposed to be y^2, this is what it would look like:


10x^2y - 5xy^2+6x^2y^2+36y^2

Then, you would have to arrange it with respect to the power of x (start with the largest exponent of x) with variables in alphabetical order. This means the variables should be xy rather than yx.


6x^2y^2 + 10x^2y-5xy^2+36y^2
