The distributive property means to distribute the number being multiplied by the numbers in the parentheses.
In this case, (v+12) is being multiplied by 10.
To solve this, you simply have to multiply 10 by each term inside the parentheses.
That means it would be (v•10)+(12•10).
(v•10) is equal to 10v, since v is the variable and we don't know its value.
(12•10) is equal to 120.
So by using the distributive property we can find that (v+12)10 = 10v+120.
