1. **State the problem:** We need to find the product of 9 and 13, then add 63 to that product. 2. **Write the formula:** The product of two numbers $a$ and $b$ is $a \times b$. Then we add 63: $$9 \times 13 + 63$$ 3. **Calculate the product:** $$9 \times 13 = 117$$ 4. **Add 63 to the product:** $$117 + 63 = 180$$ 5. **Final answer:** The result is $180$.
