Question

What is the product?
(-3s +2t)(4s-t)

Answer 1

t = 4 s or t = (3 s)/2

Explanation:

Solve for t:

(4 s - t) (2 t - 3 s) = 0

Split into two equations:

4 s - t = 0 or 2 t - 3 s = 0

Subtract 4 s from both sides:

-t = -4 s or 2 t - 3 s = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

t = 4 s or 2 t - 3 s = 0

Add 3 s to both sides:

t = 4 s or 2 t = 3 s

Divide both sides by 2:

Answer: t = 4 s or t = (3 s)/2
