Question

Solve 15(s - 3) = 12s - 43

Answer 1

s=2/3

Explanation:

15(s - 3) = 12s - 43

distribution

15s-45=12s-43

minus 12s from both sides

3s-45=-43

add 45 to both sides

3s=2

divide both sides by 3

s=2/3

substitute to prove right

15(2/3-3)=12(2/3)-43

10-45=8-43

-35=-35

Answer 2

s = 2/3

Explanation:

15(s - 3) = 12s - 43

15s - 45 = 12s - 43

15s - 12s = -43 + 45

3s = 2

s = 2/3
