In beta decay equations, e- refers to an electron (in beta-), and e+ refers to a positron (in beta+).
Not asked, but answered for completeness, ve refers to the electron neutrino that accompanies the positron, and v-e refers to the electron antineutrino that accompanies the electron.

What is the nuclear decay equation for potassium-40?
There are three beta decay modes for 40K, and so three equations. The equation for the negative beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 2040Ca + -10e where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron. The equation for the positive beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 1840Ar+ 10e where the 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron. The equation for the decay of 40K by electron capture is:1940K + -10e --> 1840Ar + ve
