Identify Relationship: Look at the system of equations to identify the relationship between e and the other terms.The system of equations is:e+1.2=2e=We can see that the second equation is incomplete, but we can solve the first equation to find the value of e.
Solve for e: Solve the first equation for e.Subtract 1.2 from both sides of the equation to isolate e:e+1.2−1.2=2−1.2e=0.8
Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting the value of e back into the first equation.e+1.2=20.8+1.2=22.0=2The left side equals the right side, so the solution is correct.
