In the distributive property you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products, for example:

2(3+2)

Imagine that there is a multiplication sign between the 2 and the parenthesis. You are multiplying each number inside the parenthesis by the 2,

(2*3)+(2*2)

6+4

=10
