Simplifying Throughput Variance in Warehouse Logistics

A logistics supervisor at a distribution center is analyzing shipping throughput variance between two delivery routes. The difference in daily capacity is represented by the algebraic expression 16pq3(7pq3){}16pq^3 - (-7pq^3), where pp is the dock efficiency rating and qq is the route volume factor.

To simplify this capacity model, recall and state the arithmetic rule for subtracting a negative term, and provide the final simplified algebraic expression.
