I just heard on the TV that someone got life in prison plus 47 years. I never understood this. Life in prison is life in prison so what does this mean when they get additional time on top of life in prison?

Where I live a “life” prison sentence is 40 years. A “life” sentence doesn’t mean you stay in prison until your dead usually. It just means you will spend your “best” years in prison. Imagine going to prison at 28 years old for “life”. You’ll get out when you’re 68. You most likely will not find a decent good paying job or a place to live. It would suck.
