css in lightning component

I have a piece of code inside my lightning component as follows.

 <lightning:accordion allowMultipleSectionsOpen="true" activeSectionName="Provider Details">
            <lightning:accordionSection name="Provider Details" label="Provider Details" >
                <lightning:card title="">
                    <lightning:layout multiplerows="true">
                        <lightning:layoutItem size="5" padding="around-small">
 <div class="left-space"><lightning:formattedText value="10.20 Miles"/></div>

  </lightning:card>
                        </lightning:layoutItem>
                    </lightning:layout>
               </lightning:card>
            </lightning:accordionSection>
 
so in the style of the component I wrote as
.THIS .left-space{
    margin-left : 17px;
}

Now my question is without writing external CSS can we achieve the same using slds classes?

Thanks

Hi Meghna,

Greetings to you!

You can use Padding to adjust whitespace. for your requirement you can use class="slds-p-left_medium"

Classes prefixed by slds-p- are used for adding padding. Classes prefixed in slds-m- are used for adding margin. The directions available for the spacing classes are top, right, bottom, and left.

Try below code: 
<aura:component >
    <lightning:accordion allowMultipleSectionsOpen="true" activeSectionName="Provider Details">
        <lightning:accordionSection name="Provider Details" label="Provider Details" >
            <lightning:card title="">
                <lightning:layout multiplerows="true">
                    <lightning:layoutItem size="5" padding="around-small">
                        <div class="slds-p-left_medium"><lightning:formattedText value="10.20 Miles"/></div>
                    </lightning:layoutItem>
                </lightning:layout>
            </lightning:card>
        </lightning:accordionSection>
    </lightning:accordion>
</aura:component>

I hope it helps you.
