Answer:

Solve for 's' using inverse operations;

4s + 3 = 9

Get rid of constants first.

By doing this, we subtract 3 from both sides because the inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

-3 -3

4s = 6

Isolate 's' by dividing 4 from both sides because the inverse operation of multiplication is division.

÷ 4 ÷ 4

s = 6/4 which equals 1.5 therefore the value of 's' to make this equation true is 1.5.
