Question

Replace the blank with an integer to make it a true statement:

$(-3)\times \_\_\_\_\_=27$

Answer 1

Find the integer:

Let us assume the missing integer be $x$,

Now,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow (–3)\times \left(x\right)=27 \\ \Rightarrow x=–\frac{27}{3} \\ \Rightarrow \mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}x=-9 \end{gathered}$$

On substituting the value of $x$ in the given equation we get,

$\Rightarrow (–3)\times \mathbf{}(-9)=27[\because (-\times –=+\left)\right]$

Thus,$(–3)\times \mathbf{}\mathbf{(}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{9}\mathbf{)}=27$ is the required answer.
