If 4x = 8x - 1 then 4x must be equivalent to 1. So that means x is .25 or 1/4.
Hope this helps!
(I assumed your trying to solve for x, please word the question better next time)
Answer:
e = -2
Step-by-step 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 <em>e</em>.
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
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>e is -2.</em>
