Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statements true.

$95\times 180-95\times \_\_\_=95\times 120$

Answer 1

Let the blank be $x$.

So,

$95\times 180-95\times x=95\times 120$

Using distributive property of multiplication over addition,

$$\begin{gathered} 95\times 180-95\times x=95\times 120 \\ 95(180-x)=95\times 120 \\ (180-x)=120 \\ 180-120=x \\ 60=x \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $95\times 180-95\times 60=95\times 120$
