Answer

$2x^4y^2+11x^3y-6y-8x$

Work Step by Step

Removing the grouping symbols and then combining like terms, the given expression, $ (5x^4y^2+6x^3y-7y)-(3x^4y^2-5x^3y-6y+8x) ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 5x^4y^2+6x^3y-7y-3x^4y^2+5x^3y+6y-8x \\\\= (5x^4y^2-3x^4y^2)+(6x^3y+5x^3y)+(-7y+6y)-8x \\\\= 2x^4y^2+11x^3y-6y-8x .\end{array}
