Question

6(3-e) = 42 e = what does e equal

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{e = - 4}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{6(3 - e) = 42}$

Distribute 6 through the parentheses

⇒$\sf{18 - 6e = 42}$

Move 18 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒$\sf{ - 6e = 42 - 18}$

Subtract 18 from 42

⇒$\sf{ - 6e = 24}$

Divide both sides of the equation by -6

⇒$\sf{ \frac{ - 6e}{ - 6} = \frac{24}{ - 6} }$

Calculate

⇒$\sf{e = - 4}$
