Explanation:

Distributive Property:

Given three numerical values $a$ $a$ , $b$ $b$ and $c$ $c$
The values are in the format $a (b + c)$ $a(b+c)$ ...
the property states that the equation can be simplified by doing the following
$a (b) + a (c)$ $a(b)+a(c)$

Now, we can employ this in an actual equation.
$3 (x^{2} + 8) = ?$ $3(x^2+8)=?$
$3 (x^{2}) + 3 (8) = 3 x^{2} + 24$ $3(x^2)+3(8)=3x^2+24$
