Assuming matrices $A,B,C ;text{and};D;$ are $ ntimes n,$ show two ways that $(A+B)(C+D)=AC+AD+BC+BD$
$begingroup$
My way first of showing this is by letting $A,B,C ;text{and};D;$ equal
begin{bmatrix}
a_{ij}
end{bmatrix}
begin{bmatrix}
b_{ij}
end{bmatrix}
begin{bmatrix}
c_{ij}
end{bmatrix}
begin{bmatrix}
d_{ij}
end{bmatrix}
Respectively. I then used the distributive laws to show that both side are equal, but I cannot think of another way.

multiply $[a_{ij}+b_{ij}]$ and $[c_{ij}+d_{ij}]$ ?

That's a good point, but is that not the same doing it if they were both singular as I did e.g. ([a]+[b])([c]+[d]) ? If not, then I guess that answers my question.

You can use the distributive property of matrices to show this the second way.
Observe that $(A+B)$ and $(C+D)$ are each themselves $ntimes n$ matrices. Using right distribution, $(A+B)(C+D) = (A+B)C + (A+B)D$. Then distributing to the left of each term, we obtain the desired result.
