The distributive property is a property for multiplying with parentheses. It states that a(b+c)=ab+ac. The means that 3(x+2)=3x+6, for example. Basically, the distributive property says you must multiply everything within the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.
An example of how to use the distributive property: If you have 6x(5+4) you multiply 6x by 5 and get 30x. Then you multiply 6x by 4 and get 24x and then you would have 30x+24x which = 54x
