Answer:

44

Explanation:

Angles that form a straight line add up to equal 180 degrees

Hence, e + 8 + 3e - 4 = 180

^ ( note that we just created an equation that we can use to

solve for e )

Using the equation created, we then solve for e

e + 8 + 3e - 4 = 180

step 1 combine like terms

3e + e = 4e

8 - 4 = 4

we now have 180 = 4e + 4

step 2 subtract 4 from each side

180 - 4 = 176

4 - 4 cancels out

we now have 176 = 4e

step 3 divide each side by 4

176 / 4 = 44

4e / 4 = e

we're left with e = 44
