Answer:
The missing value is -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]-7 = _ -(-2)[/tex]
Required
Determine the missing value
Represent _ with a variable
[tex]-7 = x -(-2)[/tex]
Open the bracket
[tex]-7 = x -1*-2[/tex]
[tex]-7 = x + 2[/tex]
Subtract 2 from both sides
[tex]-7 - 2 = x + 2 - 2[/tex]
[tex]-9 = x[/tex]
Reorder
[tex]x = -9[/tex]
Hence, the missing value is -9
