The problem in the image shows an application of the distributive property. Here's the expression that appears:

\[ 8 \times (5 + 4) = 8 \times \_ + 8 \times \_ \]

To solve this:

1. Apply the distributive property:
   \[
   8 \times (5 + 4) = (8 \times 5) + (8 \times 4)
   \]
   So, the blanks should be filled with 5 and 4:
   \[
   8 \times 5 + 8 \times 4
   \]

2. Now compute the individual products:
   \[
   8 \times 5 = 40
   \]
   \[
   8 \times 4 = 32
   \]

3. Add them together:
   \[
   40 + 32 = 72
   \]

Thus, the completed equation is:
\[
8 \times (5 + 4) = 8 \times 5 + 8 \times 4 = 40 + 32 = 72
\]
