Step 1.2.1

Multiply $7$ by $- 1$ .

$4 x y - 13 x^{2} y + 7 - 7 (x^{2} y^{2}) - (12 x y^{2}) - (- 3 x^{2} y) - 1 \cdot 11$

Step 1.2.2

Multiply $12$ by $- 1$ .

$4 x y - 13 x^{2} y + 7 - 7 (x^{2} y^{2}) - 12 (x y^{2}) - (- 3 x^{2} y) - 1 \cdot 11$

Step 1.2.3

Multiply $- 3$ by $- 1$ .

$4 x y - 13 x^{2} y + 7 - 7 (x^{2} y^{2}) - 12 (x y^{2}) + 3 (x^{2} y) - 1 \cdot 11$

Step 1.2.4

Multiply $- 1$ by $11$ .

$4 x y - 13 x^{2} y + 7 - 7 (x^{2} y^{2}) - 12 (x y^{2}) + 3 (x^{2} y) - 11$

Step 1.3

Remove parentheses.

$4 x y - 13 x^{2} y + 7 - 7 x^{2} y^{2} - 12 x y^{2} + 3 x^{2} y - 11$

Step 2

Simplify by adding terms.

Step 2.1

Add $- 13 x^{2} y$ and $3 x^{2} y$ .

$4 x y - 10 x^{2} y + 7 - 7 x^{2} y^{2} - 12 x y^{2} - 11$

Step 2.2

Subtract $11$ from $7$ .

$4 x y - 10 x^{2} y - 7 x^{2} y^{2} - 12 x y^{2} - 4$
