Question

How to solve 3(5-e)+2=10

Answer 1

Simplifying 3(5 + -1e) + 2 = 10 (5 * 3 + -1e * 3) + 2 = 10 (15 + -3e) + 2 = 10 Reorder the terms: 15 + 2 + -3e = 10 Combine like terms: 15 + 2 = 17 17 + -3e = 10 Solving 17 + -3e = 10 Solving for variable 'e'. Move all terms containing e to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-17' to each side of the equation. 17 + -17 + -3e = 10 + -17 Combine like terms: 17 + -17 = 0 0 + -3e = 10 + -17 -3e = 10 + -17 Combine like terms: 10 + -17 = -7 -3e = -7 Divide each side by '-3'. e = 2.333333333 Simplifying e = 2.333333333

Answer 2

3(5-e)+2=10
15-3e+2=10
17-3e=10
-3e=-7
e=2 and 1/3
