Question

solve for s. 49s + 5s - 46s - 4s + 3 = 19 s =

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms for \(s\)

\(49s + 5s - 46s - 4s=(49 + 5 - 46 - 4)s=(54 - 50)s = 4s\)
So the equation becomes \(4s+3 = 19\)

Step2: Subtract 3 from both sides

\(4s+3 - 3=19 - 3\)
\(4s = 16\)

Step3: Divide both sides by 4

\(\frac{4s}{4}=\frac{16}{4}\)
\(s = 4\)

Answer:

\(4\)
