Question

Can you please help me with this before monday it would really help me 3(4 - 3s)=30

Answer 1

3(4 - 3s) = 30

First, divide both sides by 3.

`4 - 3s = (30)/(3)`
Second, since 10 goes into 3 to get 30, simplify the fraction to 10.

`4 - 3s = 10`
Third, subtract 4 from both sides.

`-3s = 10 - 4`
Fourth, subtract 10 - 4.

`-3s = 6`
Fifth, divide both sides by -3.

`s = (6)/(-3)`
Sixth, simplify to turn the whole fraction into a negative.

`s = -(6)/(3)`
Seventh, since 2 goes into 3 to get 6, simplify the fraction to 2.

`s = -2`

Answer: s = -2
