Question

What is the value of s in the equation 4(2s - 1) = 75 + 12?

Answer 1

s=91/8

Explanation:

• 4(2s-1)=75+12
• 8s-4=87
• 8s=91
• s=91/8

Answer 2

Answer: s=91/8

Explanation:

To find the value of s, you want ot use your algebraic properties to isolate s.

4(2s - 1) = 75 + 12 [distribute by FOIL]

8s-4=75+12 [add]

8s-4=87 [add both sides by 4]

8s=91 [divide both sides by 8]

s=91/8
