Do you always have to use the distributive property to solve algebra equations?
Yes, when there are parenthesis in an equation, you have to use the distibutive property.
Why do you use the addition property of equality?
Why? - Mainly to help in solving equations.
When do you use the distributive property when solving equations?
when a problem looks like this: for example: 6(5+3x) 6 x 5 = 30 and 6 x 3x = 18x so it would be 30 + 18x
Why is the distributive property needed to solve algebraic equations?
because it tells you that you need to do distribute that number to all the other numbers. if you didnt use it your would come out with the wrong answer... not all the time but in most cases your answer will be incorrect if you do not use the distributive property
Why do we have to do the Distributive property rather than using order of operations?
None whatsoever. You might find the distributive property useful when trying to calculate 39*74. Of course, if you are familiar with the 39 times table or the 74 times table, the distributive property is a complete waste of time! But somehow I doubt that level of arithmetic competence.

Do you simplify while using the distributive property to write an expression?
the distributive property is only used when simplifying expressions or solving an equation: to write an expression just translate the question into symbols and letters - you don't need to use the distributive property or any other property for that
