① | $$ \left( -3x^3y \right)^6 = (-3)^6 \left( x^3 \right)^6y^6 = 729x^{18}y^6 $$ |
② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 3x^{18}y^6+3x^6y^3+6x^6y^{18} \right) = -3x^{18}y^6-3x^6y^3-6x^6y^{18} $$ |
③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{729x^{18}y^6} \color{blue}{-3x^{18}y^6} -3x^6y^3-6x^6y^{18} = \color{blue}{726x^{18}y^6} -6x^6y^{18}-3x^6y^3 $$ |
