Answer:
If a number and letter are together, it means it is a multiplication problem. It is the same thing as 7 x e.
Explanation:
We don't know what e is because there isn't a number given to us to solve the problem, so we say 7 x e = 7e, but the equation tells us that 7e = f, so 7 x e is equal to f which means 7e is equal to f.
Let me just give a number to e. Let's say e is 5
7e = f
We already know 7e is the same thing as 7 x e, so let's rewrite it
7 x e = f
We will change e to 5 and multiply the numbers together
7 x 5 = f
Now multiply 7 x 5
35 = f
If 35 is equal to f, that means the value of f is 35, so f = 35 ( I don't know if this makes sense lol)
But let's now take the original equation and assume f is 42
7e = f
Remember, 7e is 7 x e, so rewrite your equation
7 x e = f
Now we will change the f to 42
7 x e = 42
To get e, we will have to think about what multiplies by 7 to get 42. We will have to change this to division. We will divide 42 by 7
42÷7 = 6
That means e is 6. Now let's write the equation with changing e to 6
7 x 6 = 42
7 times 6 is 42, so we will multiply that
42 = 42
Now we have equal answers. Of course, 42 is equal to 42
Overall I'm trying to say 7e = f
I'll solve this again, so you won't have to go back up.
7e = f
7 x e = f
f = f
I hope this makes sense lol
