Answer:

p²q³ + pq and pq(pq² + 1)

Explanation:

Given

3p²q² - 3p²q³ +4p²q³ -3p²q² + pq

Required

Collect like terms

We start by rewriting the expression

3p²q² - 3p²q³ +4p²q³ -3p²q² + pq

Collect like terms

3p²q² -3p²q² - 3p²q³ +4p²q³ + pq

Group like terms

(3p²q² -3p²q²) - (3p²q³ - 4p²q³ ) + pq

Perform arithmetic operations on like terms

(0) - (-p²q³) + pq

- (-p²q³) + pq

Open bracket

p²q³ + pq

The answer can be further simplified

Factorize p²q³ + pq

pq(pq² + 1)

Hence, 3p²q² - 3p²q³ +4p²q³ -3p²q² + pq is equivalent to p²q³ + pq and pq(pq² + 1)
