OK, let's crack this. We're given 769 and our task is to multiply it by 9. Essentially, we'll be adding 769 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 769 = 769
Step 2: 769 + 769 = 1538
Step 3: 1538 + 769 = 2307
Step 4: 2307 + 769 = 3076
Step 5: 3076 + 769 = 3845
Step 6: 3845 + 769 = 4614
Step 7: 4614 + 769 = 5383
Step 8: 5383 + 769 = 6152
Step 9: 6152 + 769 = 6921

So, 769*9 = 6921
