Question

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

$5\times \_\_\_\_\_=-35$

Answer 1

Let us assume the missing integer be $x$.

Now,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \left(5\right)\times \left(x\right)=-35 \\ \Rightarrow x=–\left(\frac{-35}{5}\right) \\ \Rightarrow x=-7 \end{gathered}$$

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

$\Rightarrow \left(5\right)\times (-7)=-35[\because (+\times –=-\left)\right]$

Thus, $\left(5\right)\times (-7)=-35$ is the required answer.
