Question

• is times
3e • 16=24 ?

Answer 1

e=.5

you divide both sides by 16, then divide both sides by 3

Answer 2

Answer:

Process:
3e*16=24
Combine like terms by dividing both sides by 16
3e*16/16=24/16
3e=24/16
Simplify the fraction
3e=3/2
Divide both sides by 3 to cancel it out on the left side
3e/3=3/2/3
e= (3/2)/3
Dividing with a fraction is the same as multiplying with the reciprocal of the fraction (we flip it upside down)
e=(3/2)*(1/3)
e=3/6
Simplify the fraction
e=1/2
