Calculating Net Component Surplus Models

As an inventory specialist, you need to calculate the net surplus of components. To do this, you must subtract the 'defective batch' model, (a2+5ab6b2)(a^2 + 5ab - 6b^2), from the 'total yield' model, (a2+b2)(a^2 + b^2). What is the simplified algebraic expression for the net surplus, and what are the two fundamental procedural steps you must recall to properly simplify this expression?
