First group the coefficients and variables.

\

 

\

(m5)(– 4m6) = (1 · 4) (m5 · m6)

\

( 4) (m5 · m6)            (Multiply:  1 · 4 = 4)

\

\

Since base is common, apply the product of powers property: am · an = am + n.

\

( 4) (m5 + 6)    

\

4m11                        (Add exponents: 5 + 6 = 11)
