This is a common early math question which is attempting to teach "quick math".

7 x 23 can be described with the distributive property because 23 can be rewritten as "20 + 3"

This means that 7 x 23 can be rewritten as 7 x (20 + 3)

THE 7 DISTRIBUTES TO EACH NUMBER AND MULTIPLIES

(7 x 20)+(7 x 3) --> 140 + 21 = 161

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
