(x+y)^4 I am trying to simplify this problem and am kinda confused by it

This is already as simple as it will get.  You could expand it though.  In that case you'd get:

(x + y)⁴

= (x² + 2xy + y²)²

= x⁴ + 2x³y + x²y² + 2x³y + 4x²y² + 2xy³ + x²y² + 2xy³ + y⁴

=  x⁴ + 4x³y + 6x²y² +4xy³ + y⁴

But this doesn't simplify at all.

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12
