You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simplify the "expression" (no =, no equation):
%284-2a%5E2b%2B3ab%5E2%2B5a%5E2b%5E2%29%2B%284a%5E2b-2a%5E2b%5E2%2B2ab%5E2%2B3%29 Group like-terms together.
Perform the indicated addition and/or subtraction.
7%2B2a%5E2b%2B3a%5E2b%5E2%2B5ab%5E2 You could go a little more by factoring out "ab"
7%2Bab%282a%2B3ab%2B5b%29
