A simplified expression.

use parentheses and distribute
It's not. it is an algebraic expression (or a polynomial) containing TWO terms that are not like terms. You can notice it easily in the word itself, "bi" means two.
an algebraic expression has no = sign. it could be like x+4, but an equation has to have an = sign. like x+4=5
Multiply out all brackets (parentheses). Combine "like" terms. "Like" terms are those where any algebraic letters and their powers are exactly the same, but the numbers before them (the coefficients) may be different. Thus 2x2y and 3x2y are like terms and should be combined to make 5x2y. But 2x2y and 3xy2 are not like terms since in the first it is x that is squared while in the second it is y. Similarly, x and x2 are not like terms. Also, when combining terms, remember that x2y is 1x2y.

An algebraic expression that has no like terms and no parentheses is in its simplest form or standard form. In this context, each term in the expression is unique, and they cannot be combined further. For example, (3x + 4y - 5) is in this form, as each term is distinct.
An algebraic expression that contains no like terms and no parentheses is in its simplest form. This means that each term is unique and cannot be combined with any other term due to differing variables or coefficients. Such an expression is typically represented as a sum of distinct terms, such as (3x + 2y - 7).
Multiply out all the brackets (parentheses) and then combine like terms.
An algebraic expression is in simplest form when it cannot be simplified further, meaning there are no like terms to combine or common factors to factor out. Additionally, it should not contain any unnecessary parentheses or complex fractions. If the expression is a fraction, it should also be reduced to its lowest terms, where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.

The sum of 4x and 7y in algebraic expression is written as (4x + 7y). This expression represents the combination of the two terms, where 4x is the coefficient of x and 7y is the coefficient of y. There are no like terms to combine further, so the expression remains as it is.
