Question

20| 2s + 5 | = 24

Answer 1

\[20(2s + 5) = \pm24\] See if you can solve for s now.

Answer 2

so im stuck now at 40s+25=24 is that right so far?

Answer 3

20 x 5 is what?

Answer 4

expanding the bracket
20(2s + 5) = +24 OR 20(2s + 5) = -24 --> 40s + 100 = 24 OR 40s + 100 = -24

That's how you should go about it...

Answer 5

40s = 24 - 100,
40s = -24 - 100
----------------------

40s = -76 , s = -1.9
40s = -124, s = -3.1

So, s = -1.9 or -3.1

Answer 6
