Question

Determine which integer in the solution set will make the equation true

Answer 1

s= 2

Explanation:

4s - 14 = -6 Add 14 to both sides

4s - 14 + 14 = -6 + 14 Simplify

4s = 8 Divide both sides by 4

s = 2

Check

4x - 14 = -6

4(2) - 14 = -6

8 - 14 = -6

-6 = -6

Answer 2

First, we should the leave the variable
`s` on the left side of the equation.

• 
  `4s-14=-6`
• 
  `4s=-6+14`
• 
  `4s=8`

Divide both sides by
`4.`

• 
  `(4s)/(4)=(8)/(4)`
• 
  `s=2`

Conclusion:

Consequently, the element
`2` in the given set is the only real solution of this equation. What we need to do in such questions is to leave the unknown alone. Since the power of the variable
`s` of our unknown is
`1` we can only find
`1` root, respectively.
