OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 949 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means we add 949 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 949 = 949
Step 2: 949 + 949 = 1898
Step 3: 1898 + 949 = 2847
Step 4: 2847 + 949 = 3796
Step 5: 3796 + 949 = 4745
Step 6: 4745 + 949 = 5694
Step 7: 5694 + 949 = 6643
Step 8: 6643 + 949 = 7592
Step 9: 7592 + 949 = 8541

So, 949*9 = 8541
