Explanation:

To multiply these two terms you multiply each individual term in the left parenthesis by each individual term in the right parenthesis.

#(color(red)(4p) + color(red)(q))(color(blue)(m) + color(blue)(n))# becomes:

#(color(red)(4p) xx color(blue)(m)) + (color(red)(4p) xx color(blue)(n)) + (color(red)(q) xx color(blue)(m)) + (color(red)(q) xx color(blue)(n))#

#4p m + 4pn + qm + qn#
