well it means a number times another is equal to a number plus another=
4x5=20+0

No. The correct answer is as follows:
The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that
a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c
that is, the multiplication of the bracket by a can be distributed over the elements inside the bracket.

Its quiet simple. All you have to know is that when you use the distributive property in math, it's most likely and equation. So you basically remove the parentheses. AKA(expanding the equation)
You do not need the distributive property for to do that!
The distributive property of multiplication over addition states that a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c that is, the multiplication of the bracket by a can be distributed over the elements inside the bracket.
0.4*(7.5 + 40) = 19
In the distributive property, 86 can be used as a constant multiplier to distribute across a sum or difference of two or more terms. For example, if you have the expression 86(x + y), you would distribute the 86 across both the x and y terms within the parentheses to get 86x + 86y. This demonstrates how the distributive property allows you to simplify expressions by distributing a constant across terms within parentheses.
