    -25 1/2 = e

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 e - 8 = 5 e + 43

    Subtract 3e from each side

    3 e - 8 - 3e = 5 e-3e + 43

    Simplify

    -8 = 2e + 43

    Subtract 43 from each side

    -8-43 = 2e+43-43

    Simplify

    -51 = 2e

    Divide each side by 2

    -51/2 = 2e/2

    Simplify

    -25 1/2 = e

    Steps to solve:

    3e - 8 = 5e + 43

    ~Add 8 to both sides

    3e - 8 + 8 = 5e + 43 + 8

    ~Simplify

    3e = 5e + 51

    ~Subtract 5e to both sides

    3e - 5e = 5e - 5e + 51

    ~Simplify

    -2e = 51

    ~Divide - 2 to both sides

    -2e/-2 = 51/-2

    ~Simplify

    e = - 25 1/2

    Best of Luck!
