What is the solution to the equation? 6 + 2s – 8s = 18 A. s = –4 B. s = –2 C. s = 2 D. s = 4

Answer 1

Answer:B

Explanation:

6 + 2s + -8s = 18

Combine like terms: 2s + -8s = -6s

6 + -6s = 18

Solving

6 + -6s = 18

Solving for variable 's'.

Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + -6s = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + -6s = 18 + -6

-6s = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 18 + -6 = 12

-6s = 12

Divide each side by '-6'.

s = -2

Simplify

s = -2

Answer 2

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6+2s−8s=18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6+2s−8s=18

6+2s+−8s=18

(2s+−8s)+(6)=18(Combine Like Terms)

−6s+6=18

−6s+6=18

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.

−6s+6−6=18−6

−6s=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by -6.

−6s/−6

=12/−6

s=−2

Answer:

s=−2
