Question

Solve for s. 2(s − 6) = 6

Answer 1

s = 9

Explanation:

1. Apply the distributed property: 2s - 12 = 6
2. Add 12 to each side, so it now looks like this: 2s = 18
3. Divide each side by 2 to cancel out the 2 next to s. It should now look like this: s = 9

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

s = 9

Explanation:

2( s - 6 ) = 6

distribute 2,

2 ( s - 6 ) = 6

2s - 12 = 6

inverse operations,

2s - 12 = 6

+12 +12

2s = 18

/2 /2

s = 9
