$2 e - 3 - \frac{1}{5} e = \frac{7}{5} + 3 e + 4$

Step 1

Combine $e$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ .

$2 e - 3 - \frac{e}{5} = \frac{7}{5} + 3 e + 4$

Step 2

To write $2 e$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{5}{5}$ .

$2 e \cdot \frac{5}{5} - \frac{e}{5} - 3 = \frac{7}{5} + 3 e + 4$
