You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(2yz)^2(xyz)-2

When the site's triple bracket tags are placed, the expression looks like %282yz%29%5E2%28xyz%29-2

The exponent 2 applies to everything inside the grouping symbols.
%282%2A2%2Ay%5E2%2Az%5E2%29%28xyz%29-2

The other grouped expression is not exponentiated but is present as a factor, so this means show the resulting multiplication:
2%2A2%2Ay%5E2%2Az%5E2%2Axyz-2
2%2A2%2Ax%2Ay%2Ay%5E2%2Az%2Az%5E2-2 because factors in a product can be legally moved to different positions within that product
2%2A2%2Ay%2Ay%5E2%2Az%5E2%2Az%2Ax-2
ANSWER: highlight%284xy%5E3z%5E3-2%29 and that is as far as you can do with it.
