Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in all missing terms and select all missing descriptions. simplify any fractions. 6(s + 3) = 18 s + 3 = \boxed{} s = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 6

To isolate the term \((s + 3)\), we divide both sides of the equation \(6(s + 3)=18\) by 6. So, \(\frac{6(s + 3)}{6}=\frac{18}{6}\), which simplifies to \(s + 3 = 3\).

Step2: Subtract 3 from both sides

To solve for \(s\), we subtract 3 from both sides of the equation \(s + 3 = 3\). So, \(s+3 - 3=3 - 3\), which simplifies to \(s = 0\).

Answer:

For the first blank: \(3\) (description: Divide both sides by 6)
For the second blank: \(0\) (description: Subtract 3 from both sides)
