Answer

$5x^{2}y^{3}+2xy-y^{2}$

Work Step by Step

$(3x^{2}y^{3}-xy+4y^{2})-(-2x^{2}y^{3}-3xy+5y^{2})=$ ... distribute the -1 over the second parentheses $=3x^{2}y^{3}-xy+4y^{2}+2x^{2}y^{3}+3xy-5y^{2}$ ... gather like terms $=3x^{2}y^{3}+2x^{2}y^{3}-xy+3xy+4y^{2}-5y^{2}$ ... add like terms =$5x^{2}y^{3}+2xy-y^{2}$
