Evaluate
2s−4s
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2−4)s
Subtract the numbers
−2s
−2s−12
−2s−12=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2s=0+12
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2s=12
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2s=−12
Divide both sides
22s=2−12
Divide the numbers
s=2−12
