a) \(x^2-\dfrac{1}{3}x^2-3x^2\)
= \(\left(1-\dfrac{1}{3}-3\right)x^2\)
=\(\dfrac{-7}{3}x^2\)
b) \(\dfrac{1}{2}x^2y-\dfrac{3}{4}x^2y+x^2y\)
= \(\left(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{3}{4}+1\right)x^2y\)
= \(\dfrac{3}{4}x^2y\)
c) \(x^3y-5xy+2x^3y+2xy\)
= \((x^3y+2x^3y)+[(-5xy)+2xy]\)
= \(\left(1+2\right)x^3y+\left(-5+2\right)xy\)
=\(3x^3y+(-3xy)\)
