Solve 187×(8-5): Multiplication with Parentheses Problem

We'll use the distributive property and multiply each term in parentheses by 187:

$187\times8-187\times5=$

Let's solve the first multiplication problem vertically, making sure to solve it correctly, meaning units times units, units times tens, units times hundreds.

$187\\\times8$

We get the result: 1496

Let's solve the second multiplication problem vertically, making sure to solve it correctly, meaning units times units, units times tens, units times hundreds.

$187\\\times5$

We get the result: 935

Now we'll get the problem:

$1496-935=$

We'll solve this vertically as well. We'll make sure to align the digits properly, units under units, tens under tens, etc.:

$1496\\-935$

We'll subtract units from units, tens from tens, etc., and get the result: $561$
