Question

6(3-e) = 42
e =
what does e equal

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{e = - 4}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{6(3 - e) = 42}`

Distribute 6 through the parentheses

⇒
`\sf{18 - 6e = 42}`

Move 18 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒
`\sf{ - 6e = 42 - 18}`

Subtract 18 from 42

⇒
`\sf{ - 6e = 24}`

Divide both sides of the equation by -6

⇒
`\sf{ ( - 6e)/( - 6) = (24)/( - 6) }`

Calculate

⇒
`\sf{e = - 4}`
