4s+5=19

You need to get s by itself

Minus 5 from each side


4s=14

14÷4=
3 (2)/(4)
3 (1)/(2)

Answer:
3 (1)/(2)

4s + 5 = 19

First, subtract 5 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 4s = 19 - 5.
Second, simplify 19 - 5 to 14. / Your problem should look like: 4s = 14.
Third, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: s =
(14)/(4) .
Fourth, simplify
(14)/(4) to
(7)/(2) . / Your problem should look like: s =
(7)/(2) which is the answer.
