4x+4y

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 4 to the terms inside the parentheses.

\(4(x+y)\)
\(4(x)+4(y)\)
\(4x+4y\)

Since $4x$ and $4y$ are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
