Question

Can someone please help me with this question? Please and Thank you.
Solve the equation
v + f - e = 2 for e.

A. e = v - f - 2
B. e = v + f - 2
C. e = -v - f + 2
D. e = -v + f + 2

Answer 1

first subtract f and v from both sides

Answer 2

do you understand what souvik is saying to do ?

Answer 3

I'm lost?

Answer 4

Nope. @texaschic101

Answer 5

v + f - e = 2 for e
first we will subtract v from both sides
v - v + f - e = 2 - v
combine like terms
f - e = 2 - v
are you with me so far ?

Answer 6

we are trying to get e on one side and everything else on the other side

Answer 7

yes. @texaschic101

Answer 8

f - e = 2 - v
now we will subtract f from both sides
f - f - e = 2 - v - f
combine like terms
-e = 2 - v - f
with me so far ?

Answer 9

Is it B?
e = v + f - 2?

Answer 10

yeah! right..how did u do that?@mercedesjaay_

Answer 11

-e = 2 - v - f
multiply the equation by -1 to make e positive
(-1)-e = 2 - v - f
e = v + f - 2
you are correct :)

Answer 12

I followed @texaschic101
Thanks a bunch! :)

Answer 13

anytime :)
