Solution Steps

00:00 Solve
00:03 Let's use the distributive law
00:06 Let's break down 29 to 30 minus 1
00:13 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 make solving easier, we break down 29 into more comfortable numbers, preferably round ones.

We obtain:

6×(301)= 6\times(30-1)=

We multiply 6 by each of the terms in parentheses:

(6×30)(6×1)= (6\times30)-(6\times1)=

We solve the exercises in parentheses and obtain:

1806=174 180-6=174

Answer

174
