Question

Solve for e.
0.75(8 + e) = 2 - 1.25e

Answer 1

e = -2

Explanation:

Well to solve for e in the following equation,

.75(8 + e) = 2 - 1.25e

We need to distribute and use the communicative property to find e.

6 + .75e = 2 - 1.25e

-2 to both sides

4 + .75e = -1.25e

-.75 to both sides

4 = -2e

-2 to both sides

e = -2

Thus,

e is -2.

Hope this helps :)
