Use the distributive property 5394 is the answer.

Explanation:

93 can be rewritten as 90 + 3

58 can be rewritten as 50 + 8

The problem can be rewritten as

#( 90 + 3) xx ( 50 + 8) # So the problem as four parts

  1. #90 xx 50= 4500#

  2. #90 xx 8 = 720#

  3. # 3 xx 50 = 150#

  4. # 3 xx 8 = 24#

Now add all four of these together

# 4500 + 720 + 150 + 24 = 5394#
