Explanation

To calculate five times the number 17, you use multiplication, specifically multiplying 17 by 5. Multiplication here means you are taking the value of 17 and combining it five times, which scales the number up proportionally. Think of it as adding 17 five separate times: 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17. Performing the operation 17 * 5 accomplishes this in a single step. The expression 85 captures this calculation, so when you substitute any value for 17, evaluating 17 * 5 will give you five times that original number.
