Distributive property or distributive law of multiplication means to multiply the addends by a number and will have the same result even if you multiply the addends by the number in any order. In this case, if 5 is multiplied by addends (2x+3y+5z), the product will be the same even if you multiply 5 by the addends in any order.
> 5(2x+3y+5z)
> 5(2x)+5(3y)+5(5z)
> 10x+15y+25z
Therefore, the answer of 5(2x+3y+5z) using distributive property is 10x+15y+25z.
