In this question, you're trying to figure out what property is being represented.
Your answer would be the Distributive Property
This is your answer because as you can see, you are "distributing" the 2 to the variables inside the parenthesis.
When you distribute the number, you would be multiplying, in which in this case there is multiplication.
Therefore, Distributive property would be the correct answer.
If you're asking how to simplify, then this is how you do it.
when a power meets another power but in brackets, then you have to multiply the powers. ¼ × 4 would be 1. i simplified 81 to 3⁴.
