Answer 2

Answer:

The number in the blank is $-7$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an equation, 5 × _____ = –35 .

Need to fill the blank.

5 is a positive integer and -35 is also a negative integer.

From the multiplication rule of integers, the result of a product of a positive and a negative integer is negative.

So, we can say that the other integer in the blank is a negative integer.

Let the number in the blank be $-x$.

Thus, we have,

$5\times (-x) = -35$

$\implies -5x =-35$

Cancelling minus(-) on both sides, we get $5x=35$

Divide both sides by 5.  

$\dfrac{5x}{5} =\dfrac{35}{5} \implies x=7$

we have the number as $-x$ therefore, the number in the blank is $-7$.
