Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true: $17+\_\_\_\_\_=0$

Answer 1

Find the missing number.

Given equation: $17+\_\_\_\_\_=0$

Let, the missing number is $x$

So, the given equation becomes

$$\begin{gathered} 17+x=0 \\ \Rightarrow x=0+(-17) \\ \Rightarrow x=-17 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $17+\underline{(-17)}=0$
