Explanation: The distributive property tells us when there's a number outside a set of parenthses, you can multiply it times each of the terms that are inside the set of parenthses and then add those products together.

So in this problem, we can multiply 5(4) + 5(8)

which simplifies to 20 + 40 which equals 60.
