Question

Solve for e. Give an exact answer. 0.75(8+e)=2-1.25e0.75(8+e)=2−1.25e

Answer 1

Answer:

e = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 0.75(8+e)=2-1.25e, to get the value of e, the following steps must be carried out;

$0.75(8+e)=2-1.25e\\6+0.75e = 2-1.25e\\collect\ like \ terms\\6-2 = -1.25e-0.75e\\4 = -2e\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by \ -2\\\frac{4}{-2} = \frac{-2e}{-2}\\ e = -2$
