OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 559 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means we add 559 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 559 = 559
Step 2: 559 + 559 = 1118
Step 3: 1118 + 559 = 1677
Step 4: 1677 + 559 = 2236
Step 5: 2236 + 559 = 2795
Step 6: 2795 + 559 = 3354
Step 7: 3354 + 559 = 3913
Step 8: 3913 + 559 = 4472
Step 9: 4472 + 559 = 5031

So, 559*9 = 5031
