Question

-3 (e - 6)= 39 please show work

Answer 1

Distribute the -3 to both the e and -6 so you'll get

-3e + 18 = 39
(then subtract 18 from both sides)


-3e + 18 = 39
-18 -18

-3e = 21

Divide both sides by -3 so you'll get e = -7

Answer 2

Hey there!

`-3(e-6)= 39`

First,
`distribute`

`-3(e)`
`+`
`-3(-6)`
`= 39`

• 
  `-3(e) = -3e`
• 
  `(-3)(-6 = 18)`
• 
  `\boxed{-3e+18=39}`

Second,
`subtract` by
`18` on each of your sides

• 
  `-3e + 18`
  `-18`
  `= 39- 18`
• 
  `Cancel: 18 - 18` because it gives you the result of
  `0`
• 
  `Keep: 39 - 18` because it helps us get closer to our answer ( is a step to find our answer)
• 
  `39-18=`
  `21`
• 
  `\boxed{-3e = 21}`

Third,
`divide` by
`-3` on each of your sides

• 
  `(-3e)/(-3)`
• 
  `= (21)/(-3)`
• 
  `Cancel: (-3e)/(-3)` because it gives you the result of
  `-1`
• 
  `Keep: (21)/(-3)` because it gives you the result of
  `e`
• 
  `\Boxed{(21)/(-3)= -7 }`

Forth, your
`answer`

• 
  `\Boxed{Answer: e = -7}`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
