You want to use the distributive property, i.e. the possibility to distribute a multiplication to both terms of an sum/subtraction.

In this case, if you think of 395 as of 400-5, you have

[tex] 5 \times 395 = 5 \times (400-5) [/tex]

And you can use the distributive property to write

[tex] 5 \times (400-5) = 5\times 400 - 5\times 5[/tex]

Both of these multiplications are easy to perform in your mind:

[tex] 5\times 400 - 5\times 5 = 2000 - 25 = 1975[/tex]
