Solution Steps

00:00 Solve
00:03 Let's use the distributive law
00:06 Let's break down 39 into 40 minus 1
00:12 Let's multiply each factor separately and subtract
00:26 Let's solve each multiplication and then subtract
00:35 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solving easier, we break down 39 into more convenient numbers, preferably round ones.

We obtain:

30×(401)= 30\times(40-1)=

We multiply 30 by each of the terms in parentheses:

(30×40)(30×1)= (30\times40)-(30\times1)=

We solve the exercises in parentheses and obtain:

1,20030=1,170 1,200-30=1,170

Answer

1170
