Answer:

x²y²+xy²+3+xy+2y²

Explanation:

(2x²y²+x²y+xy²+3)-(x²y²+x²y²+x²y-xy-2y²)

1. remove the parentheses (when there’s - in front of an expression in parentheses change the sign of each term of the expression)

2x²y² + x²y + xy² + 3-x²y² - x²y² - x²y + xy - 2y²

2. eliminate the opposites

2x²y² + xy² + 3 -x²y² + xy +2y²

3. collect like terms

x²y² + xy² + 3 + xy + 2y²
