Given the numerical statement:

5×743=(_×700)+(_×40)+(_×3)

Explanation:

It is the same as multiplying the given 5 to each value of 700, 50, and 3, since they are all added afterward. This can be proven by solving the equation.

Solution:

5 x 743 = 3715

(_×700)+(_×40)+(_×3)

(5 × 700)+(5 × 40)+(5 × 3)

= 3500 + 200 + 15

= 3715

The value is the same therefore, the missing number is 5.
