2(5x3y2)210xy

Fisrt, distribute the square.

2(25x6y4)10xy

Distirbute the -2.

50x6y410xy

Consider that a variable without a power is the same as that variable to the power of 1: x = x1

If a variable  with a power is divide by the same variable with a lower power, the powers subtract: x6/x3=x6-3=x3

Simplify.

-50/10=-5

5x6y4x1y1

Subtract powers.

5x5y3
