Answer

$-3y^{2}-15y+28$

Work Step by Step

Subtract the polynomials inside the first brackets $ \begin{array}{llll} & 7y^{2} & -4y & +2 \\ -( & 12y^{2} & +3y & -5)\\ \hline & & & \\ = & -5y^{2} & -7y & +7\\ & & & \end{array} $ Add the polynomials in the second brackets: $ \begin{array}{llll} & 5y^{2} & -2y & -8 \\ +( & -7y^{2} & +10y & -13)\\ \hline & & & \\ = & -2y^{2} & +8y & -21 \end{array} $ Now subtract the results of the brackets: $ \begin{array}{llll} & -5y^{2} & -7y & +7\\ -( & -2y^{2} & +8y & -21)\\ \hline & & & \\ = & -3y^{2} & -15y & +28 \end{array} $
