simplifying

Simplify the following two statements.
(a) 19p⁶q⁵ − 3p⁴q² × 3p²q³ + 2q⁵p⁶
(b) log(14a³b²)−log(2)−2log(ab)


I am assuming those numbers are exponents (powers).


am i correct in saying that p and q do not need to be found? that i just need to multiply
3p4q2 × 3p2q3 (is it 9p to the power of 8? q6?)
then add 2q5p6 (making 2q power of 11? 9p power 16?)

then minus the answer from 19p6q5 ?

also when multiplying do i just add the powers? (yes) what do i do with the powers with addition and subtraction? Aa^m + Ba^m = (A+B)a^m

thanks guys I'm hopeless at math

also i have no idea about the second part (b)
