First remove the parentheses, and then combine like terms.
-7p%5E8q%5E8%2B4p%5E8q-5pq%5E8+%96+%28+7p%5E8q%5E8+%96+5p%5E8q+%2B+6pq%5E8+%29
=-7p%5E8q%5E8%2B4p%5E8q-5pq%5E8+%967p%5E8q%5E8+%2B+5p%5E8q+-+6pq%5E8
=-7p%5E8q%5E8-7p%5E8q%5E8%2B4p%5E8q%2B5p%5E8q-5pq%5E8-6pq%5E8
=-14p%5E8q%5E8%2B9p%5E8q-11pq%5E8
