Let's solve this problem step-by-step:


7 * 9 = (7*10)-(7*x)

  • x: it is the delta in the equation given in your picture

We know (7*10) - (7*x) is equivalent to the 7*(10-x)

⇒ based on the Distributive Properties


a*(b+c) = ab + ac


7*(10+(-x))=(7*10)+(7*(-x)=(7*10)-(7*x)

So:


7*9=7(10-x)\\9=10-x\\x=10-9\\x= 1

Thus delta (the little triangle in this problem) in this case is 1

Answer: 1

Hope that helps!
