I might be bad at explaining or even wrong, but i tried. so here it goes.
2 is subtracted from a number (we'll put N for the missing number) and the difference is divided by 3. so i thought the difference was the final answer so i divided 30 by 3.
my equation came out to 2-n=30/3
so from there i did basic algebra.
i added the N to both sides so i came up with 2=30/3+N (so i wouldn't have a negative variable) and the divided 30/3 so then i had 2=90+N.
still with me? i hope so...
so then i subtracted 90 from both sides to get the variable alone and ended with -88=N.
so if you put N in you get 2-(-88)=30/3
you subtract 2 from -88 and get 90. so now you have 90/3 with equals 30.

-112=16e<br> Solve for e
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: -7 = e

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for <em>e</em>, we need to get <em>e</em> by itself on the right side of the equation. Since <em>e</em> is multiplied by 16, in order to get <em>e</em> by itself, we need to divide by 16 on the right side of the equation. If we divide by 16 on the right side of the equation, we must also divide by 16 on the left side of the equation.

On the right side of the equation the 16's cancel and we have <em>e</em>. On the right side of the equation -112 divided by 16 is -7. Remember that a negative divided by a positive is a negative.

So we have -7 = e which is the solution to our equation.

To check our solution, we can plug -7 in for <em>e</em> in the original equation. So we have -112 = 16 (-7) or -112 = -112 which is a true statement so our answer checks.
