Answer: s = 36

Step-by-step explanation: The key to solving multistep equations is isolating the variable. This is why I first subtracted 14 on each side. This left me with 1/3s=12. Then, to isolate "s" even more, I didvided by 1/3 on each side. This gave me s = 36 as an answer.

To divide by a fraction, use "keep change flip." Keep the first mumber, change division to multiplication, and flip the fraction. I included a picture of me doing this.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
