Distribute the -3 to both the e and -6 so you'll get

-3e + 18 = 39
(then subtract 18 from both sides)


-3e + 18 = 39
-18 -18

-3e = 21

Divide both sides by -3 so you'll get e = -7

Hey there!

[tex]-3(e-6)= 39[/tex]

First, [tex]distribute[/tex]

[tex]-3(e)[/tex] [tex]+[/tex] [tex]-3(-6)[/tex] [tex]= 39[/tex]

  • [tex]-3(e) = -3e[/tex]
  • [tex](-3)(-6 = 18)[/tex]
  • [tex]\boxed{-3e+18=39}[/tex]

Second, [tex]subtract[/tex] by [tex]18[/tex] on each of your sides

  • [tex]-3e + 18[/tex] [tex]-18[/tex] [tex]= 39- 18[/tex]
  • [tex]Cancel: 18 - 18[/tex]  because it gives you the result of [tex]0[/tex]
  • [tex]Keep: 39 - 18[/tex] because it helps us get closer to our answer ( is a step to find our answer)
  • [tex]39-18=[/tex][tex]21[/tex]
  • [tex]\boxed{-3e = 21}[/tex]

Third, [tex]divide[/tex] by [tex]-3[/tex] on each of your sides

  • [tex]\frac{-3e}{-3}[/tex]
  • [tex]= \frac{21}{-3}[/tex]
  • [tex]Cancel: \frac{-3e}{-3}[/tex] because it gives you the result of [tex]-1[/tex]
  • [tex]Keep: \frac{21}{-3}[/tex]  because it gives you the result of [tex]e[/tex]
  • [tex]\Boxed{\frac{21}{-3}= -7 }[/tex]

Forth, your [tex]answer[/tex]

  • [tex]\Boxed{Answer: e = -7}[/tex]

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
