| ① | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{3y} +4y^2+ \color{blue}{4y} = 4y^2+ \color{blue}{7y} $$ |
| ② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 2y^2-6 \right) = -2y^2+6 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{4y^2} +7y \color{blue}{-2y^2} +6 = \color{blue}{2y^2} +7y+6 $$ |
