The distributive property is necessary when you are asked to simplify and distributive property is possible.

It is necessary when you are getting into multiplying from the outside of parenthesis and multiplying variables inside of parenthesis.
ex: 5(3 + 3x)
5 * 3 = 15
5 * 3x = 15x
so final set up would be 15 + 15x
