Answer: 
Explanation: For a general binomial expansion,
, we know that the powers have to add up to the initial power. This means that the power of x and power of y have to add up to n. This is the binomial theorem.
To further demonstrate this, let's use:
We can easily expand this. Using Pascal's Triangle, we get:
As we progress along the expansion, we can see that in each term, the summation of each power remains constant, namely 4.
It doesn't matter what term the binomials are, because the power summation will never change.
This is why we can say that it is raised to the 12th power, and the binomial is:
(5x - 6y).
Thus, we get:

For the sake of showing work I will replace the empty space with an x like so...
To find out what x is you must cross multiply (aka butterfly)
***Image of this step is attached below
9*x = 10*90
9x = 900
Next divide 9 to both sides to finish isolating x. Since 9 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 9 out (in this case it will make 9 one) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.
9x ÷ 9 = 900 ÷ 9
1x = 100
x = 100
To make these fractions equivalent the empty spot must be 100
Hope this helped!
