Are there two variables, y and e? What are we even supposed to solve for? There’s some context missing
42
Well, that’s just not fair. That’s the answer to everything. I wanted the answer for something specific
There are an infinite number of solutions, 42 is in at least one of them
Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
That’s life mate.
7y(12e+11) - 85 = 2y +12e
(7(12e+11)-2)y = 12e + 85
y = (12e + 85)/(7(12e+11)-2)
y = (12e + 85)/(84e+77-2)
y = (12e + 85)/(84e+75)
Assuming e = exp(1) ≈ 2.73, my calculator says that y ≈ 0.3878, or a little over a third.
Can you write it properly?
I’m confused by your reply because the only variable in that equation is
y
Als long as you don’t define
e
as the Eulerian number,e
is to be treated as a variable.Yea, but
e
is almost never used as a variable because it is always assumed to be Euler’s number outside really specific contexts and it’d be bizarre to see it given as a variable without a,b,c, and d.One important thing in anything math related is to be precise and do not leave room for speculation. Sure in math context
e
is almost always preserved forexp(1)
, but it is either is stated explicitly or is obvious from the context. Here is no context.
