Yes.

# Example Program

Let us write a program that evaluates the formula `5 × x - 74` where the value `x` is in register $8. Assume that `x` is two's complement. Here is the program:

    ## newMult.asm
    ##
    ## Program to calculate 5 × x - 74
    ##
    ## Register Use:
    ##  $8   x
    ##  $9   result

            .text
            .globl  main

    main:
            ori      $8,   $0, 12         # put x into $8
            ori      $___, $0,  5         # put 5 into $___
            mult     $___, $___           #  ___ <-- 5x
            mflo     $___                 # $___ = 5x
            addiu    $___, $___,-74       # $___ = 5x - 74
