To determine the neutral element we'll write it's
property:
x*e = e*x = x
Now,
we'll apply the law of composition for
x*e = 3xe + 6(x+e)
+ 10
But x*e = x
3xe + 6(x+e)
+ 10 = x
We'll remove the
brackets:
3xe + 6x + 6e + 10 =
x
We'll isolate all the elements that contain e to the left
side:
3xe + 6e = x - 6x -
10
We'll factorize by 3e to the left side and we'll combine
like terms to the right side:
3e(x + 2) = -5x -
10
We'll factorize by -5 to the right
side:
3e(x + 2) =
-5(x+2)
We'll divide by (x+2) and we'll
get:
3e = -5
The
neutral element is e = -5/3.
