Given:
The equation is:
[tex]24+12=\_\_\times (8+4)[/tex]
To find:
The missing value.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]24+12=\_\_\times (8+4)[/tex] ...(i)
Taking left hand side, we get
[tex]24+12=3\times 8+3\times 4[/tex]
Taking 3 common, we get
[tex]24+12=3\times (8+4)[/tex] ...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Missing value = 3
Therefore, the missing value in the given equation is 3.
