Distributive property is characterized by the use of parenthesis, wherein you distribute the outside number to each term inside the parenthesis by multiplication. You'll just have to copy the operation inside the parenthesis as it is, whether addition or subtraction. For example,

3(10+4-3) = 3(10) + 3(4) - 3(3) = 33
