Answer

$-16y^{3}+3y^{2}+y+6$

Work Step by Step

The difference between $(-6+y^{2}+5y^{3})$ and $(-12-y+13y^{3})$, after writing each polynomial in standard form ( in order of powers of y, highest first) is $ \begin{array}{rrrrrr} & 5y^{3} & +y^{2} & & -6\ \ \\ -( & 13y^{3} & & -y & -12)\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & -8y^{3} & +y^{2} & +y & +6 \end{array}$ From this, we subtract $(-2y^{2}+8y^{3})$, (writing in standard form) $ \begin{array}{rrrrrrr} & -8y^{3} & +y^{2} & +y & +6\\ -( & 8y^{3} & -2y^{2} & & )\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & -16y^{3} & +3y^{2} & +y & +6\\ & & & & \end{array}$
