A student simplified the expression. Identify the errors and correct them.

Question

3p^2q+2p-(5q+p-2p^2q)=q^2p=3p-5q

Answer 1

The errors in the simplified expression are as follows:

1) In the first term, the "q" should be squared because it is raised to the first power in the original expression.
Corrected: 3p^2q^2

2) In the second term, there is an incorrect subtraction of "p". It should be added instead.
Corrected: 2p+p = 3p

3) In the third term, there is an incorrect subtraction of "p". It should be added instead.
Corrected: -5q-p = -6q

4) The equality sign "=" in the middle of the expression is incorrect and should not be there.
Corrected: 3p^2q^2 + 3p - 6q

5) The final term "q^2p" in the expression is not simplified correctly. It should be "pq^2" instead.
Corrected: pq^2

The corrected and simplified expression is:
3p^2q^2 + 3p - 6q + pq^2
