Question

Evaluate 3(2e+8) = 34

Answer 1

Answer:

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Best to write, "solve for e.

We need to find the value of e that satisfies this equation.

Start by dividing both sides by 3.  This results in 2e + 8 = 34/3.

Subtracting 8 from boths ides results in 2e = 34/3 - 24/3, or 10/3.

Finally, we divide both sides by 2:

        10/3

e = ------------- = 5/3

           2

Answer 2

Answer:

e = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2e+8) = 34

Distribute

6e +24 = 34

Subtract 24 from each side

6e +24-24 = 34-24

6e = 10

Divide each side by 6

6e/6 = 10/6

e = 10/6

Divide the top and bottom by 2

e = 5/3
