Enter the number that makes the expression below equivalent to c .

Question

(−5+_)+(8⋅1/8)+c

Answer 1

To make the expression (-5 + _) + (8 * 1/8) + c equivalent to c, we need to find the value of the missing number (_) such that when added to -5, the result is 0.

Therefore, the missing number (_) is 5.

So the expression becomes:

(-5 + 5) + (8 * 1/8) + c

Simplifying further:

0 + 1 + c

Now, we have:

1 + c

Hence, to make the expression (-5 + _) + (8 * 1/8) + c equivalent to c, we need the missing number (_) to be 5.
