Question
Solve the equation
s=−213
Alternative Form
s=−6.5
Evaluate
4(s−13)=12s
Expand the expression
More Steps
Evaluate
4(s−13)
Apply the distributive property
4s−4×13
Multiply the numbers
4s−52
4s−52=12s
Move the variable to the left side
4s−52−12s=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
4s−12s
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(4−12)s
Subtract the numbers
−8s
−8s−52=0
Move the constant to the right side
−8s=0+52
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−8s=52
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
8s=−52
Divide both sides
88s=8−52
Divide the numbers
s=8−52
Solution
