Question

127/3
127=100+__________+7

Answer 1

To express 127 as a sum of 100, another number, and 7, we first find the number that, when added to 100 and 7, equals 127.

We can set up the equation:
\[
127 = 100 + x + 7
\]
where \( x \) is the number we need to find.

Now, combine 100 and 7:
\[
100 + 7 = 107
\]

Thus, we rewrite the equation:
\[
127 = 107 + x
\]

To find \( x \), we can rearrange this:
\[
x = 127 - 107
\]
\[
x = 20
\]

So, the expression is:
\[
127 = 100 + 20 + 7
\]

In conclusion, the complete equation is:
\[
127 = 100 + 20 + 7
\]

Therefore, the answer to the blank is **20**.
