Answer: -8p³-5q³-5p²q
Step-by-step explanation:
To make sure the expression is simplified, all like terms are combined. Meaning, there shouldn't be a repeat of the same variable.
[tex](-8p^3-11p^2q)+(pq^2-5q^3)-(-6p^2q+pq^2)[/tex] [distribute negative to last expression]
[tex](-8p^3-11p^2q)+(pq^2-5q^3)+(6p^2q-pq^2)[/tex] [find like terms]
[tex]-8p^3-5q^3+(-11p^2q+6p^2q)+(pq^2-pq^2)[/tex] [combine like terms]
[tex]-8p^3-5q^3-5p^2q[/tex]
Therefore, the simplified expression is [tex]-8p^3-5q^3-5p^2q[/tex].
