Question

Help please, and maybe an explaination too! What is the solution to the equation?

8 + 4s – 2s = 16

A.
s = –12

B.
s = –4

C.
s = 4

D.
s = 12

Answer 1

Combine the like terms and isolate the variable s.

Answer 2

4s - 2s + 8 = 16
4s - 2s = 2s
2s + 8 = 16
subtract 8 from both sides
2s = 8
divide by 2
s = 4

Answer 3

I understand thank you.
