Question

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

_____ $\times (-12)=132$

Answer 1

Finding the missing integer

Let us assume the missing integer be x,

Now,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \left(x\right)\times (-12)=132 \\ \Rightarrow x=–(\frac{132}{12}) \\ \Rightarrow x=–11 \end{gathered}$$

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

$\Rightarrow (–11)\times (-12)=132[\because (-\times –=+\left)\right]$

Thus,

$(–11)\times (-12)=132$ is required answer.
