Answer:
![\boxed{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{e = 2}}}}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cboxed%7B%20%5Cboxed%7B%20%5Cboxed%7B%20%5Cbold%7B%20%5Csf%7Be%20%3D%202%7D%7D%7D%7D%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
![\sf{ \frac{e}{2} + 7 = 4e}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Be%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%2B%207%20%3D%204e%7D)
Take L.C.M of 2 and 1
⇒![\sf{ \frac{e + 7 \times 2}{2} = 4e}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B%20%20%5Cfrac%7Be%20%2B%207%20%20%5Ctimes%202%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%3D%204e%7D)
Multiply the numbers
⇒![\sf{ \frac{e + 14}{2} = 4e}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Be%20%2B%2014%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%3D%204e%7D)
Apply cross product property
⇒![\sf{e + 14 = 8e}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7Be%20%2B%2014%20%3D%208e%7D)
Move variable to left hand side and change it's sign
Similarly, move constant to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒![\sf{ e - 8e = - 14}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B%20e%20-%208e%20%3D%20%20-%2014%7D)
Collect like terms
⇒![\sf{ - 7e = - 14}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B%20-%207e%20%3D%20%20-%2014%7D)
Change the signs of both sides of the equation
⇒![\sf{7e = 14}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B7e%20%3D%2014%7D)
Divide both sides of the equation by 7
⇒![\sf{ \frac{7e}{7} = \frac{14}{7} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7B%20%20%5Cfrac%7B7e%7D%7B7%7D%20%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B14%7D%7B7%7D%20%7D)
Calculate
⇒![\sf{e = 2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csf%7Be%20%3D%202%7D)

How can we find the L.CM?
The steps for finding L.C.M of the numbers are mentioned below:
Step 1 : First of all find the prime factors of each numbers.
Step 2: Take out the common prime factors. Step 3 : Also take out the other remaining prime factors.
Step 4 : Multiply those all prime factors and obtain L.C.M . If there is not any common prime factors then their L.C.M is the product of the given numbers.
--------------------------------------------------------
In our case , we are going to find out the LCM of 2 and 1.
First, Find all prime factors of 2 and 1
2 = 1 × 2
1 = 1 × 1
Common prime factor = 1
Remaining prime factors = 2 and 1
Multiply them : 1 × 2 × 1 = 2
Hope I helped!
