Math Problem Statement

(m+n)4

Solution

The expression (m+n)4(m+n)4 can be simplified by distributing the 4 across the terms inside the parentheses:

(m+n)4=4(m+n)(m + n)4 = 4(m + n)

Now distribute the 4 to both mm and nn:

4(m+n)=4m+4n4(m + n) = 4m + 4n

So, the simplified expression is:

4m+4n4m + 4n

Tip: Always remember that distributing a number to terms inside parentheses follows the distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac.
