x^2-2+y

Explanation:

Firstly express the calculation in as fraction ;

(x^3y-2xy+xy^2)-:xy

=(x^3y-2xy+xy^2)/(xy)

There are only one variable in the denominator, so we can express one whole fraction into smaller fraction , but with the same denominator and solve for each of it;

=(x^3y-2xy+xy^2)/(xy)

=(x^(cancel(3)2)cancely)/(cancel(xy))-(2cancel(xy))/(cancel(xy))+(cancelxy^cancel(2))/(cancel(xy))

=x^2-2+y
