You would distribute the numbers for example 5(4+5) you would go 5*4 + 5*5and you get the answer which is 45.

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.
To simplify using the distributive property, you distribute a number or variable outside a set of parentheses to each term inside the parentheses. For example, if you have the expression 3(x + 2), you would distribute the 3 to both x and 2 to get 3x + 6. This helps you combine like terms and simplify the expression further.
An expression equal to 15 + 35, using distributive property, is 5(3 + 7). Under distributive property, 5*3=15 and 5*7=35.

The property used to rewrite 9x2 + 9x3 is the Distributive Property. Using the Distributive Property the expression can be rewritten as 9x2 + 9x2 + 9x2 or 27x2.
