= LEFT + RIGHT

Start by distributing the (\blue{X + B}):

\qquad = \quad (\blue{X + B})(X + D)

\qquad = \quad \blue{X}(X + D) \blue{+B}(X + D)

Next, distribute the \blue{X} and the \blue{B}:

\qquad = \quad (\blue{X} \cdot X) + (\blue{X} \cdot D) + (\blue{B} \cdot X) + (\blue{B} \cdot D)

Notice that by distributing you're really just multiplying each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression.

Simplify:

\qquad = \quad XX + DX + BX + B * D

Keep simplifying to get the final answer:

\qquad = \quad plus(XX, (D + B) + X, (B * D))
