| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 14y^2+8yz-13z^2 \right) = -14y^2-8yz+13z^2 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{y^2} + \color{red}{z^2} \color{blue}{-14y^2} -8yz+ \color{red}{13z^2} = \color{blue}{-13y^2} -8yz+ \color{red}{14z^2} $$ |
