What is 2e = 2? and that's all the problem is asking

What is 2e = 2?

Divide both sides by 2 to get e alone.

2:2e=2/2

E=1

To check substitute your answer into equation

2 (1) = 2

2=2 it checks

2e = 2, here we need to separate the variable and the number

so we have to bring the number on the left to the right, and while doing so it becomes division as it was in multiplication form in the left.

so we get, e = 2/2

∴ e = 1
