Ok distributive property is when you distribute the number inside the parenthesis and you multiply each of the numbers inside with the outside number, for instance 2(x+6) that would be 2x+12, meaning 2(x)+2(6). Now if you want to put the numbers back in you have to divide the whole thing by the Largest Common Factor. For instance 5x+10, the largest factor is 5 because 5 goes into 10 and 5x. so you would put 5 on the outside of the parenthesis. Next you divide 5x+10 by 5 and put it inside the parenthesis. For which you get 5(x+10)

hint:Two like term equal positive; oppisite term equal negative #.

Now to answer your questions one by one:

2(x+6)=2x+12

-5(8-b) hint negative and negative equal to positive= -40+5b

-2(k-11)=-2k+22

-1/3(6h+15)= -6/3h-15/3= -2h-5

to distribute means to pass out, like to distribute food.

2(x+6) you distribute the 2 to each term inside(you multiply).

You get 2x+12 as the answer.

-5(8-b)= -40+5b

-2(k-11)=-2k+22

-1/3(6h+15)=-1/18h-45

multiply the number on the outside of the parentheses by each of the numbers on the inside.

simplest form would just be ex.

2/6=1/3

4/8=1/2

2/4=1/2

etc etc

good luck!
