Answer:
e = 10
Explanation:
1.) We need to manipulate the equation to get e by itself.
2.) To solve the equation, do the following steps;
9e + 4 = −5e + 14 + 13e
9e + 4 = 14 + 8e (Combine like terms)
9e + 4 − 8e = 14 + 8e − 8e (Subtract 8e from each side)
e + 4 = 14 (Combine like terms)
e + 4 - 4 = 14 - 4 (Subtract 4 from each side)
e = 10 (Combine like terms.
3.) Answer: e = 10.
Now lets check our work. To check your work, do the following steps;
9e + 4 = −5e + 14 + 13e
9e + 4 = 14 + 8e
9(10) + 4 = 14 + 8(10)
90 + 4 = 14 + 80
94 = 94
By doing those steps we can confirm the answer, e = 10, is true.
