The distributive property is basically expanding brackets.

So if you take 3(x + 4) = 36 and remove the brackets (so multiplying out the 3), you get:

3x + 12 = 36

And from there you simplify :)

3x + 12 = 36

3x = 24

x = 8

The distributive property was used to multiply the 3 through the brackets, thus making the equation easier to solve I guess
