Step-by-step explanation:
Given
_x + _ = _x + _
Required
Fill in the gap using 1 to 9 to give a result close to 0
First, you have to determine what kind of numbers that are close to 0;
In this case, I'll work with -0.4 to 0.4 because the number in this range approximate to 0;
Next, is to fill in the gaps using trial by error method
5x + 2 = 2x + 3

Answer:
1.) 6
2.) -1
3.) 36
4.) 1/3
5.) 90
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) -12/a
-12/a -> -12/2
=6
2.) a+ (-b)
a+(-b) -> 2+(-3)
=-1
3.) 3a (12-2b)
3a(12-2b) -> 3(2) (12-2x3)
6(12-6)
6(6)
=36
4.) 2a-c/b
2a-c/b -> 2(2)-5/3
4-5/3
=1/3
5.) 3abc
3abc-> 3x2x3x5
=90
