The missing factor in the equation is -21

What is a distributive factor?

The Distributive Property introduces the multiplication operator an existing mathematical statement that involves the addition operator.

From the complete question, the equation is given as:

[tex]6 \times x= (3 \times 7) + (x \times 7)[/tex]

Where x represents the missing factor.

So, we have:

[tex]6x= (21) + (7x)[/tex]

Remove brackets

[tex]6x= 21 + 7x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]6x-7x= 21[/tex]

Evaluate the like terms

[tex]-x= 21[/tex]

Divide both sides by -1

[tex]x= -21[/tex]

Hence, the missing factor in the equation is -21
