The distributive property allows you to calculate
5 * 265 = 5*(200 + 60 + 5) = 5*200 + 5*60 + 5*5 = 1000 + 300 + 25 = 1325.
A simpler method, though, might be if you note that 5 = 10/2
So 5*265 = 10*265/2 = 10*132.5 = 1325

Your question does not make sense. An example of the distributive property is 5 x (3 + 4) = (5 x 3) + (5 x 4).

-7-(3v-x+5)
The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. In this case, 98 x 7 can be calculated using the distributive property as 98 x 7 = 98 x (5 + 2) = (98 x 5) + (98 x 2) = 490 + 196 = 686. So, the distributive property helps break down the multiplication into simpler calculations.
7 x 86 does not HAVE a distributive property. The distributive property of multiplication can be used to calulate 7 x 86 as 7 x 86 = 7 x 80 + 7 x 6
