Step 1.2.1.1

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$12 y + 4 x^{4} y + 1 y - (- 6 x y^{2}) - (- 8 x^{4} y) - (7 x^{4} y - 13 x y^{2} - y)$

Step 1.2.1.2

Multiply $y$ by $1$ .

$12 y + 4 x^{4} y + y - (- 6 x y^{2}) - (- 8 x^{4} y) - (7 x^{4} y - 13 x y^{2} - y)$

Step 1.2.2

Multiply $- 6$ by $- 1$ .

$12 y + 4 x^{4} y + y + 6 (x y^{2}) - (- 8 x^{4} y) - (7 x^{4} y - 13 x y^{2} - y)$

Step 1.2.3

Multiply $- 8$ by $- 1$ .

$12 y + 4 x^{4} y + y + 6 (x y^{2}) + 8 (x^{4} y) - (7 x^{4} y - 13 x y^{2} - y)$

Step 1.3

Remove parentheses.

$12 y + 4 x^{4} y + y + 6 x y^{2} + 8 x^{4} y - (7 x^{4} y - 13 x y^{2} - y)$

Step 1.4

Apply the distributive property.

$12 y + 4 x^{4} y + y + 6 x y^{2} + 8 x^{4} y - (7 x^{4} y) - (- 13 x y^{2}) - - y$
