Fill in the blanks with integers. (a) $5 \times \_\_\_ - 8 = 37$ (b) $37 - (33 - \_\_\_) = 35$ (c) $-3 \times (-11 + \_\_\_) = 45$

(a)

Answer

(b)

Answer

(c)

Answer

-4

Explanation

(a) Let the missing number be $x$ . Then $5x - 8 = 37$ , so $5x = 45$ and $x = 9$ . (b) Let the missing number be $x$ . Then $37 - (33 - x) = 35$ , so $37 - 33 + x = 35$ , giving $4 + x = 35$ and $x = 31$ . (c) Let the missing number be $x$ . Then $-3(-11 + x) = 45$ , so $-11 + x = -15$ , giving $x = -4$ .
