Answer:

4*e-5+2*e-(e+3-2*e)=0

Add 8 to both sides of the equation :

7e = 8

Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

e = 8/7 = 1.143

And then you get

Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

e = 8/7 = 1.143

Answer:e=8/7=1.143

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

4*e-5+2*e-(e+3-2*e)=0

Add 8 to both sides of the equation :

7e = 8

Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

e = 8/7 = 1.143

And then you get

Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

e = 8/7 = 1.143
