Step-by-step explanation:

1. To apply the distributive property the number that is outside the parentheses must multiply the values ​​that are inside the parentheses.

The exercise is as follows:


\begin{gathered} (5+7)8 \\ 8(5)+8(7) \\ 40+56 \\ 96; \\ \text{the answer is 96} \end{gathered}

2. 7(13+12);

Applying the distributive property is as follows:


\begin{gathered} 7(13+12) \\ 7(13)+7(12) \\ 91+84 \\ 175 \\ \text{The answer is 175} \end{gathered}
