Question

-5/6e - 2/3e = -24 what would e equal to? Please help, will give out 10 points!!

Answer 1

e = 16

Explanation:

`-(5)/(6) e - (2)/(3)e=-24`

First we can make it so that both fractions have a common denominator (6) by both the numerator and denominator of the
`(2)/(3)` by 2 to get
`(4)/(6)`.

`-(5)/(6) e - (4)/(6)e=-24` (Equation)

`-(9)/(6) e =-24` (Simplify the left side)

`e=16` (Divide both sides by
`-(9)/(6)` or Multiply both sides by
`(6)/(9)`)
