Question

Please help me with this

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Need to know #, and solve :

#
`(2)/(3) *S` is the same as
`(2*S)/(3)`

#you need the same denominator to be able to add or subtract fractions

#
`(2)/(3)` is the same as
`(4)/(6)`

`(2*S - 4)/(3) = (S + 4)/(6)`

#
`(a)/(b) =(c)/(d)` is the same as a*d = b*c

6 ( 2*s - 4) = 3 ( s+4)

# distribute multiplication over addition and subtraction

12s-24 = 3s+12

#isolate like terms

12s-3s = 12+24

#combine like terms

9s = 36

#divide both sides by 9

s= 4
