Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{e = - 4}}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{6(3 - e) = 42}[/tex]
Distribute 6 through the parentheses
⇒[tex] \sf{18 - 6e = 42}[/tex]
Move 18 to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex] \sf{ - 6e = 42 - 18}[/tex]
Subtract 18 from 42
⇒[tex] \sf{ - 6e = 24}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by -6
⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{ - 6e}{ - 6} = \frac{24}{ - 6} }[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex] \sf{e = - 4}[/tex]
Hope I helped!
