Question

2s+4=5(−4−2s)

Answer 1

@Ashleyisakitty

Answer 2

Is 's" a variable like "2x" would be?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Great. This equation is pretty simplistic. First, you need to follow the PEMDAS rule, so you need to multiple 5 out into -4 and -2s.

After that -- you can continue the equation by adding/subtracting a number value and a variable value from each side.

Then, you can finish your equation to find what "s" is.

Answer 5

2s+4=-20-10s

Answer 6

Yes -- good job.

Now, you can subtract -2s each side, and add 20 to both side, or you could add 10s to each side, and subtract 4 from each side. Whichever you pick.

Answer 7

\[2s+4=5(-4-2s)\]
First try to make the equation a simpler one.
\[2s+4=-20-10s\]
Now rewrite the equation by bringing s to one side and the numbers to the other side.
\[-12s=24\]
You get the answer here
\[s=\frac{ -24 }{ 12}\]

Answer 8

then 2s+4=-20-10s would become -12s=24

Answer 9

so the answer is s=-2

Answer 10

Yes Rayep, nice job. The last step is to divide each!

Answer 11

Great work.
