Finding the Sum (2x23xy2y2)+(5x23xy)(2x^2 - 3xy - 2y^2) + (5x^2 - 3xy)

To find the sum (2x23xy2y2)+(5x23xy)(2x^2 - 3xy - 2y^2) + (5x^2 - 3xy), rewrite the expression without parentheses as 2x23xy2y2+5x23xy2x^2 - 3xy - 2y^2 + 5x^2 - 3xy. Group the like terms together by rearranging the expression: 2x2+5x23xy3xy2y22x^2 + 5x^2 - 3xy - 3xy - 2y^2. Combine the like terms by adding their coefficients to determine the final sum: 7x26xy2y27x^2 - 6xy - 2y^2.
