Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

idk what to do, i did the problem 4 times already

Answer 3

Is this the problem?

\(9 \times 72 = 9 \times~? + 9 \times 2\)

Answer 4

yes, but at the end of to, somthing has to equel somthing

Answer 5

at the end of 2

Answer 6

Oh, okay..so it's splitting \(9 \times 72\) into two problems..and it gave you \(9 \times 2\), so to find the other number we have to multiply we can just subtract 72 - 70.

Answer 7

we come out with 2

Answer 8

Oh, sorry, I meant 72 - 2

Answer 9

oh then we come out with 70

Answer 10

so the missing number is 70?

Answer 11

Yes, so we have:

\(9 \times 72 = 9 \times 70 + 9 \times 2 =~?\)

Just multiply 9 * 72 to get the last number.

Answer 12

648, omg thanks

Answer 13

so were done? right?

Answer 14

Yep!

Our final answer is:

\(9 \times 72 = 9 \times 70 + 9 \times 2 = 648\)
