Simplifying Inventory Models

An operations manager is tasked with streamlining an inventory prediction model that contains the algebraic expression (p3p2q)+(pq2+q3)(p2q+pq2)(p^3 - p^2q) + (pq^2 + q^3) - (p^2q + pq^2). Provide the final simplified form of this polynomial, and briefly state what happens to the like terms p2qp^2q and pq2pq^2 during the simplification process.
