This property is called the distributive property. It is when you distribute the number outside the parenthesis into the numbers and letters inside the parenthesis.

Example:

7(x-3) = 7x-21

10(x+5+8) = 10x+50+80 = 10x +130

be sure to simplify like terms as in the example above

10 ( x²+5x³+2x²) = 10x²+50x³+20x² = 30x²+50x³

answer: 30x²+50x³

hope this helps
