Math Problem Statement

2x2yz−[3x2−{2y2−(x2yz−y2+x2)}]

Solution

Let's simplify the given expression step by step. The expression is:

2x2yz[3x2{2y2(x2yzy2+x2)}]2x^2yz - \left[ 3x^2 - \left\{ 2y^2 - \left( x^2yz - y^2 + x^2 \right) \right\} \right]

Step 1: Simplify the innermost parentheses

First, simplify the innermost expression (x2yzy2+x2)( x^2yz - y^2 + x^2 ): x2yzy2+x2x^2yz - y^2 + x^2

This expression is already simplified. Now substitute it back into the next part: 2y2(x2yzy2+x2)2y^2 - (x^2yz - y^2 + x^2)

Step 2: Distribute the negative sign

Distribute the negative sign into the parentheses: 2y2x2yz+y2x22y^2 - x^2yz + y^2 - x^2 Now combine like terms: (2y2+y2)x2yzx2=3y2x2yzx2(2y^2 + y^2) - x^2yz - x^2 = 3y^2 - x^2yz - x^2

Step 3: Substitute the simplified expression

Substitute this back into the next layer: 3x2(3y2x2yzx2)3x^2 - \left( 3y^2 - x^2yz - x^2 \right)

Step 4: Distribute the negative sign again

Distribute the negative sign: 3x23y2+x2yz+x23x^2 - 3y^2 + x^2yz + x^2 Now combine like terms: (3x2+x2yz+x2)3y2=4x2+x2yz3y2(3x^2 + x^2yz + x^2) - 3y^2 = 4x^2 + x^2yz - 3y^2

Step 5: Substitute this into the original expression

Now substitute this back into the original expression: 2x2yz(4x2+x2yz3y2)2x^2yz - \left( 4x^2 + x^2yz - 3y^2 \right)

Step 6: Distribute the negative sign one last time

Distribute the negative sign: 2x2yz4x2x2yz+3y22x^2yz - 4x^2 - x^2yz + 3y^2

Step 7: Combine like terms

Finally, combine the like terms: (2x2yzx2yz)4x2+3y2=x2yz4x2+3y2(2x^2yz - x^2yz) - 4x^2 + 3y^2 = x^2yz - 4x^2 + 3y^2

Final simplified expression:

x2yz4x2+3y2x^2yz - 4x^2 + 3y^2
