Question

Fill the blanks please

Answer 1

1) 4

2) 2

3) 5

4) 8

Explanation:

All you have to do in this question is to substitute what they are telling you.

First blank:

They told us that m is 0 so if we plug that into the equation we can get s.

`2m+4s=16\\2(0)+4s=16\\4s=16\\s=4`

In this one if m is 0, s will have to be 4.

Second blank:

They told us that s is 3 so if we plug in that into the equation we can get m.

`2m+4s=16\\2m+4(3)=16\\2m+12=16\\2m=4\\m=2`

In this one if s is 3, m will have to be 2.

Third blank:

They told us that m is -2 so if we plug that into the equation we can get s.

`2m+4s=16\\2(-2)+4s=16\\-4+4s=16\\4s=20\\s=5`

In this one if m is -2, s will be 5.

Fourth blank:

They told us that s is 0 so if we plug into the equation we can get m.

`2m+4s=16\\2m+4(0)=16\\2m=16\\m=8`

In this one if s is 0, then m will be 8.
