7x9=(7x10)-(7x ?)
(7x?)=(7x10)-(7x9)
7x?=70-63
7x?=7
so the answer is ?=1

7x9=(7x10)-(7x▲)

The way we solve this problem is by setting the equation equal to ▲

We want to isolate ▲ by itself on one side of the equation.

We can do this by first simplifying the numbers multiplied together.

7 x 9 = 63 and 7 x 10 = 70

63 = 70 - 7x▲

Next, we want to subtract 70 from both sides.

-7 = - 7x▲

Finally, to get ▲ completely by itself, we can divide both sides by -7

1 = ▲ which is our final answer :)
