we know that


A*4=E


A=(E)/(4) -----> equation
1


(B)/(4) =E\\ \\ B=4*E -----> equation
2


C+4=E


C=E-4 -----> equation
3


D-4=E


D=E+4 -----> equation
4


A+B+C+D=100 -----> equation
5

Substitute equations
1,2,3,4 in equation
5


[(E)/(4) ]+[4*E]+[E-4]+[E+4]=100\\ E+16E+4E-16+4E+16=400\\ 25E=400\\\\ E=(400)/(25) \\ \\ E=16

therefore

the answer is

the value of E is
16

A×4 = E, so A = E/4
B/4 = E, so B = 4E
C+4 = E, so C = E=4
D-4 = E, so D = E+4
and
A+B+C+D=100.

now substitute the values that we got of A, B, C and D in the equation, to get,
(E/4) + 4E + E-4 + E+4 = 100
(E/4) + 4E + 2E = 100
(E/4) + 6E = 100
(E+24E)/4 = 100
E+24E = 100×4
25E = 400
E = 400/25
E = 16

i answered same question before too ....

Hope it helps !!!
