Question

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

$\_\_\_\_\_\times (-8)=-56$

Answer 1

Let us assume the missing integer be $x$,

Now,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \left(x\right)\times (-8)=-56 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{-56}{-8}[Transposing-8toRHS] \\ \Rightarrow x=7 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore,$\mathbf{}\mathbf{\left(}\mathbf{7}\mathbf{\right)}\mathbf{}\times (-8)=-56$
