Given the equation:
2e = 4e - 16
Determine the equivalent value of the expression.
Solution:
In order to determine the equivalent value of the expression, we must simply need to transpose -16 and 2e to the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
2e = 4e - 16
16 = 4e - 2e
16 = 2e
Divide both sides by 2 in order to determine the value of e.
16/2 = 2e/2
e = 8
Final answer:
e = 8
