explain what each equation represents.
1) 5e+1=15
5e+1=15
5 times an unknown number plus 1 equals 15
5e = 14
e = 14/5
e = 2 4/5
thank you soo muchh! (:
You're very welcome.
The equation 5e + 1 = 15 represents a mathematical expression involving the variable 'e'. To understand what the equation represents, we need to solve it for 'e'. Here's how we can do that:
1. Begin by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:
5e + 1 - 1 = 15 - 1
Simplifying, we get: 5e = 14
2. Next, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate the variable 'e':
(5e)/5 = 14/5
Reducing, we get: e = 2.8
So, the value of 'e' that satisfies the equation 5e + 1 = 15 is 2.8.
In general, a linear equation in the form ax + b = c represents a line on a coordinate plane, where 'a' and 'b' are constants and 'x' is a variable. Solving the equation will give us the specific value of 'x' that satisfies the equation and determines the point where the line intersects the x-axis. In this case, the equation 5e + 1 = 15 represents a line where 'e' is the variable.
