Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 965. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 9. So, we're going to take the number 965 and add it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 965 = 965
Step 2: 965 + 965 = 1930
Step 3: 1930 + 965 = 2895
Step 4: 2895 + 965 = 3860
Step 5: 3860 + 965 = 4825
Step 6: 4825 + 965 = 5790
Step 7: 5790 + 965 = 6755
Step 8: 6755 + 965 = 7720
Step 9: 7720 + 965 = 8685

So, 965*9 = 8685
