Question

Solve D = one-fourth (e – 3f) for e. You must show all work

Answer 1

\(D=\frac{1}{4}(e-3f)\) and you must isolate 'e'?

Answer 2

can you show me step by step

Answer 3

Certainly. Before you can do any moving on the right you must expand the expression \(\frac{1}{4}(e-3f)\), what would be the first step here?

Answer 4

The parenthesis are telling you that \(\frac{1}{4}\) is being multiplied by both terms inside, so you want to distribute first.
