Sagot :

Answer: each eraser cost 5 dollors                

Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying

25 = 5 + 4e

Solving

25 = 5 + 4e

Solving for variable 'e'.

Move all terms containing e to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4e' to each side of the equation.

25 + -4e = 5 + 4e + -4e

Combine like terms: 4e + -4e = 0

25 + -4e = 5 + 0

25 + -4e = 5

Add '-25' to each side of the equation.

25 + -25 + -4e = 5 + -25

Combine like terms: 25 + -25 = 0

0 + -4e = 5 + -25

-4e = 5 + -25

Combine like terms: 5 + -25 = -20

-4e = -20

Divide each side by '-4'.

e = 5

Simplifying

e = 5
