s+2/4=4 6/7

OpenStudy (xguardians):

Solve for S? And is that 4 * 6/7?

OpenStudy (taylovesmatthew):

yes and no its 4 and 6/7

OpenStudy (xguardians):

First multiply both sides by 4. s+2 = 4 6/7 (4) Second, subtract two. s = [4 6/7 (4)] - 2

OpenStudy (taylovesmatthew):

that equation confused the heck out of me..

OpenStudy (xguardians):

S = (4 6/7 * 4) - 2 Complete the multiplication in parenthesis then subtract two.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

s + 2/4 = 4 6/7 (turn mixed number to improper fraction) s + 2/4 = 34/7 -- subtract 2/4 from both sides s = 34/7 - 2/4 -- common denominator is 28 s = 136/28 - 14/28 s = 122/28 -- reduce s = 61/14 or 4 5/14
