#=-4x^7y^3#

Explanation:

#(-2x^3y^-3 xx -2x^4y^3)/color(green)((-y^3)^-1) = color(red)(-2)color(blue)(x^3)y^-3 xx color(red)(-2)color(blue)(x^4)y^3 xx color(green)(-y^3)#

#=color(red)(4)color(blue)(x^7) xx -y^3#

#=-4x^7y^3#

#-4x^7y^3#

Explanation:

#- (2x^3y^-3*-2x^4y^3)/((-y^3)^-1#

#:.=-(((2x^3)/1*1/y^3*-(2x^4y^3)/1)/-y^-3)#

#:.=-((2x^3)/y^3*-(2x^4y^3)/1*(-y^3)/1)#

#:.=-((4x^(3+4)y^(3+3))/y^3)#

#:.=-(4x^7y^6)/y^3#

#:.=-4x^7y^(6-3)#

#:.=-4x^7y^3#
