Answer

$-10y^{3}+2y^{2}+y+3$

Work Step by Step

The difference between $(-5+y^{2}+4y^{3})$ and $(-8-y+7y^{3})$, after writing each polynomial in standard form ( in order of powers of y, highest first) is $ \begin{array}{rrrrrrr} & 4y^{3} & +y^{2} & & -5\\ -( & 7y^{3} & & -y & -8)\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & -3y^{3} & +y^{2} & +y & +3 \end{array}$ From this, we subtract $(-y^{2}+7y^{3})$, (writing in standard form) $ \begin{array}{rrrrrr} & -3y^{3} & +y^{2} & +y & +3\\ +( & 7y^{3} & -y^{2} & & )\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & -10y^{3} & +2y^{2} & +y & +3\\ & & & & \end{array}$
