22*85 = (20 + 2)*85 = 20*85 + 2*85 = 1700 + 170 = 1870
If you cannot see that 85*2 = 170, then you can apply the distributive property again, to give
20*(80 + 5) + 2*(80 + 5) = 20*80 + 20*5 + 2*80 + 2*5 = 1600 + 100 + 160 + 10 = 1870

You multiply 5x5 then 9x1.
(40+200)+(5+80)
An example of how to use the distributive property: If you have 6x(5+4) you multiply 6x by 5 and get 30x. Then you multiply 6x by 4 and get 24x and then you would have 30x+24x which = 54x
