Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify the given expression, we need to combine like terms. This involves distributing any negative signs through the parentheses and then adding or subtracting the coefficients of the same terms.
Step 1: Expand the Expression
We start with the expression:
\[
\left(2 x^{2}-2 x y-3 y^{2}\right)-\left(x^{2}+2 x y-4 y^{2}\right)+\left(3 x y+y^{2}\right)
\]
We will distribute the negative sign through the second term and then combine all terms.
Step 2: Combine Like Terms
After distributing the negative sign, the expression becomes:
\[
2x^{2} - 2xy - 3y^{2} - x^{2} - 2xy + 4y^{2} + 3xy + y^{2}
\]
Now, we combine the like terms:
For \(x^{2}\): \(2x^{2} - x^{2} = x^{2}\)
For \(xy\): \(-2xy - 2xy + 3xy = -xy\)
For \(y^{2}\): \(-3y^{2} + 4y^{2} + y^{2} = 2y^{2}\)
Step 3: Write the Simplified Expression
Combining all the results, we obtain the simplified expression:
\[
x^{2} - xy + 2y^{2}
\]
