We have to rearrange the terms first.

Answer 6

Welcome to OpenStudy!
Okay. So lets start from the basics. We can take this one side at a time.
7+15s-1=5s+114-2s

Lets break it into two sides so that its not sooo confusing

Side 1:
7+15s-1
Simplify that for me please?

Answer 7

combine the LIKE terms..

Answer 8

\(7 - 1 + 15s = 5s - 2s + 114\)

Answer 9

Solve for the blue ones first : \(\color{blue}{7-1} + 15s = \color{blue}{5s-2s}+114\)

Answer 10

6+15s=3s+114

Answer 11

Great work. So now transpose 3s to left hand side, can you do that?

Answer 12

:/ is that what u mean sheldon

Answer 13

is it 6+12s+114

Answer 14

or just subtract 3s both sides :
\(6 + 15s - 3s = 3s + 114 -3s\)
\(\color{blue}{15s-3s} + 6 = \color{blue}{3s-3s} + 114 \)

Solve for blue ones.

Answer 19

Answer 20

@skburton0413 can you solve for the blue ones above?

Answer 21

12s+6=0+114 please don't get mad if I'm like dead wrong

Answer 22

Excellent! Now we have : \(12s + 6 = 114\)

Subtract 6 both sides :
\(12s + \color{blue}{6 -6 } = \color{blue}{114 - 6}\)

Solve for blue ones again

Answer 23

12s+0=108

Answer 24

12s=108

Answer 25

Divide both sides by 12 now.

s=9
