but just so you can solve it for yourself....here are the steps to take

we have

9(e + 5) = 225

what we want to do..is solve for e....so first distribute the 9 into the parenthesis

9e + 45 = 225

you want e to be by itself...so subtract 45 from both sides

9e = 180

now to get JUST e....divide both sides by 9

e = 20
