Question

How do you solve 4s+5=19

Answer 1

`4s+5=19`

You need to get s by itself

Minus 5 from each side


`4s=14`

14÷4=
`3 (2)/(4)` ⇒
`3 (1)/(2)`

Answer:
`3 (1)/(2)`

Answer 2

4s + 5 = 19

First, subtract 5 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 4s = 19 - 5.
Second, simplify 19 - 5 to 14. / Your problem should look like: 4s = 14.
Third, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: s =
`(14)/(4)` .
Fourth, simplify
`(14)/(4)` to
`(7)/(2)` . / Your problem should look like: s =
`(7)/(2)` which is the answer.
