First of all, distributive property is a property indicating in a special way in which multiplication is applied to two or more numbers inside a parentheses, multiplying the number outside the parentheses by each number inside the parentheses.
8(x+5)
first, you would take the 8, and times it by the x.
so 8 times x equals to 8x.
then, you would take the 8, and multiply it by the 5.
so 8 times 5 would equal 40.
you then put the results together, and you would get
8x + 40

Distribution basically means to multiply whatever is outside the bracket to what's inside the bracket. Example, if you had
7(x-3) you would end up with 7x-21
