Step 1.2.1

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$2 a^{2} b - 3 a b^{2} + 5 a^{2} b^{2} - 2 (a^{2} b^{2}) - (4 a^{2} b) - (- 5 b^{2})$

Step 1.2.2

Multiply $4$ by $- 1$ .

$2 a^{2} b - 3 a b^{2} + 5 a^{2} b^{2} - 2 (a^{2} b^{2}) - 4 (a^{2} b) - (- 5 b^{2})$

Step 1.2.3

Multiply $- 5$ by $- 1$ .

$2 a^{2} b - 3 a b^{2} + 5 a^{2} b^{2} - 2 (a^{2} b^{2}) - 4 (a^{2} b) + 5 b^{2}$

Step 1.3

Remove parentheses.

$2 a^{2} b - 3 a b^{2} + 5 a^{2} b^{2} - 2 a^{2} b^{2} - 4 a^{2} b + 5 b^{2}$

Step 2.1

Subtract $4 a^{2} b$ from $2 a^{2} b$ .

$- 2 a^{2} b - 3 a b^{2} + 5 a^{2} b^{2} - 2 a^{2} b^{2} + 5 b^{2}$

Step 2.2

Subtract $2 a^{2} b^{2}$ from $5 a^{2} b^{2}$ .

$- 2 a^{2} b - 3 a b^{2} + 3 a^{2} b^{2} + 5 b^{2}$

Step 2.3
