#xsqrt(32y^5)-y^2sqrt(18yx^2)#

#xsqrt(16xx2y^5)-y^2sqrt(9xx2yx^2)#

#4xsqrt(2y^5)-3y^2sqrt(2yx^2)#

#4xsqrt(2y^4xxy)-3y^2sqrt(2yx^2)#

#4xy^2sqrt(2y)-3xy^2sqrt(2y)#

#xy^2sqrt(2y)#

#xy^2sqrt(2y)# for #x>=0# and #7xy^2sqrt(2y)# for #x<0#

Explanation:

Writing

#xsqrt(16y^4*2y)-y^2sqrt(9x^2*2y)#
and this is
#sqrt(2y)(4xy^2-3|x|y^2)#
and this is

#sqrt(2y)*xy^2# for #x>=0#
and

#7xy^2sqrt(2y)# for #x<0#
