ANSWER


-14p^4q^5

Step-by-step explanation

We want to simplify the expression given:


(-2p^3q^2)(7pq^3_{})

Applying the product rule, we will add the exponents that have the same base together.

That is:


\begin{gathered} -2\cdot7\cdot p^3\cdot p\cdot q^2\cdot q^3 \\ -14\cdot p^(3+1)\cdot q^(2+3) \\ -14\cdot p^4\cdot q^5 \\ \Rightarrow-14p^4q^5 \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
