Answer 2

Geteasysolution.com? the set up looks the same lol. I tried that before coming here but it couldn't pull up the equation. Thank you though!

Answer 3

First expand the left side

Answer 4

\[8s-4=7s+12\]Then,combine like terms

Answer 5

Subtract 7s on both sides\[8s-7s-4=7s-7s+12\]\[8s-7s-4=12\]Then,add 4 on both sides\[8s-7s-4+4=12+4\]\[8s-7s=12+4\]
