An equation is shown below: 3 e - 8 ) = 5 e + 43 Solve this equation showing at least 4 steps and explain each step.

-25 1/2 =e

Step-by-step explanation:

3 e - 8  = 5 e + 43

Subtract 3e from each side

3 e - 8 -3e = 5 e-3e + 43

Simplify

-8 = 2e +43

Subtract 43 from each side

-8-43 = 2e+43-43

Simplify

-51 = 2e

Divide each side by 2

-51/2 = 2e/2

Simplify

-25 1/2 =e

Steps to solve:

3e - 8 = 5e + 43

~Add 8 to both sides

3e - 8 + 8 = 5e + 43 + 8

~Simplify

3e = 5e + 51

~Subtract 5e to both sides

3e - 5e = 5e - 5e + 51

~Simplify

-2e = 51

~Divide -2 to both sides

-2e/-2 = 51/-2

~Simplify

e = -25 1/2

Best of Luck!

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
