To determine when Peter applied the distributive property in solving an equation, we would need to examine the steps he took in his solution. The distributive property states that \( a(b + c) = ab + ac \). It is typically applied when you have a term outside of parentheses that needs to be multiplied by each term inside the parentheses.

If you can provide the specific equation or steps Peter took to solve the equation, I can help identify exactly where the distributive property was applied.
