Question

Help please?



P = 3r + 2s
P - 2s = 3r + 2s - 2s
P - 2s = 3r

Now what? I'm solving for s.

Answer 1

are those options or the question?

Answer 2

The question of what I've worked it out so far, the original is the top, and my teacher said to move the 3r to the other side which I did but I don't know what to do next and it's faster to get help on here because it could be hours before my teacher replies.

Answer 3

to get this clear you wanna solve for
p = 3r + 2s solve for s?

Answer 4

Yup

Answer 5

fantastic. you made a mistake at the 1st step you should've subtracted 3r from both sides instead of 2s

Answer 6

Oh true that >.<

Answer 7

like the following
p - 3r = 2s
and now divide both sides on 2
\[\frac{ p-3r }{ 2 } = s\]

Answer 8

And that's the answer?

Answer 9

hope that helps
yes that's the answer we solved for s
