Answer 2

Let x will be filled on the blanks :


( a ) : ( – 8 ) + x = 0

=> – 8 + x = 0

=> x = 8


$\boxed{ \bold{ \underline{First \: blank \: will \: be \: filled \: with \: 8.}}}$



( b ) : 13 + x = 0

=> x = -13



$\boxed{ \bold{ \underline{ Second \: blank \: will \: be \: filled \: with \: ( - 13 ). }}}$
