Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 974. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 10. So, we're going to take the number 974 and add it to itself 10 times.
Step 1: 0 + 974 = 974
Step 2: 974 + 974 = 1948
Step 3: 1948 + 974 = 2922
Step 4: 2922 + 974 = 3896
Step 5: 3896 + 974 = 4870
Step 6: 4870 + 974 = 5844
Step 7: 5844 + 974 = 6818
Step 8: 6818 + 974 = 7792
Step 9: 7792 + 974 = 8766
Step 10: 8766 + 974 = 9740

So, 974*10 = 9740
