Q. Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true:\newline−7− _____=−2-7 - \,\_\_\_\_\_ = -2
  1. Identify missing number: Step 11: Let's call the missing number xx. So the equation is −7−x=−2-7 - x = -2.
  2. Add 77 to both sides: Step 22: Add 77 to both sides to isolate xx. −7−x+7=−2+7-7 - x + 7 = -2 + 7. Simplifies to −x=5-x = 5.
  3. Solve for x by multiplying: Step 33: Multiply both sides by −1-1 to solve for xx. −x×−1=5×−1-x \times -1 = 5 \times -1. This gives x=−5x = -5.
