    5 * 17

    First we need to divide 17 into two parts; 10 + 7.

    5 * 17 becomes 5 * (10 + 7)

    Now distribute 5 inside the parentheses.

    5 * (10 + 7) becomes 50 + 35

    Add

    50 + 35 = 85

    Using the distributive property we find that 5 * 17 is 85.

    5 * 17 = 5 * (10 + 7) = 5 * 10 + 5 * 7 = 50 + 35 = 85.
