the answer is 9 x 34 = (10 – 1 ) x 34 = 340 – 34 = 11 x 34.
9 x 34 = (10 – 1 ) x 34 = 340 – 34 = 11 x 34
The distributive property allows you to simplify expressions by distributing a number across a sum. For 9 × 34 , you can break 34 into 30 + 4 and distribute 9 to find that 9 × 34 = 306 . This method makes complex multiplication easier to handle.
