Question

solve for s.
2s ≤ 6

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 2

To solve for \( s \) in the inequality \( 2s \leq 6 \), we divide both sides of the inequality by 2. Since 2 is a positive number, the direction of the inequality sign remains the same.
\[
\frac{2s}{2} \leq \frac{6}{2}
\]

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left - hand side, \( \frac{2s}{2}=s \), and simplifying the right - hand side, \( \frac{6}{2} = 3\). So we get \( s\leq3 \)

Answer:

\( s\leq3 \)
