1/2s=4s-21 please show steps

Mathematics
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago

Answer:

s = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal is to isolate the variable (s)

1/2s = 4s - 21

Subtract 4s from both sides - this cancels out the 4s on the right side and moves it to the left side

1/2s - 4s = -21

To add or subtract fractions, they must have a common denominator

Convert 4s to a fraction over 2

1/2s - 8/2s = -21

Subtract the numerators and keep the denominators

-7/2s = -21

Remember the goal is to isolate the variable

In order to get rid of the -7/2, we multiply by its reciprocal (which is -2/7)

What we do to one side, we must do to the other (this means multiply by -2/7 on both sides

-7/2s × -2/7 = -21 × -2/7

s = -21 × -2/7

Negative × negative = positive

s = 42/7

Divide 42 by 7

s = 6

Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

The question made is How much did I have? This question is about the amount of money that you had before receiving the money from your mom, dad and aunt and uncle. This means that the answer is the $3 you had plus the other $7 you said you had. So, $3+$7=$10. You had $10.

Can someone please help how I could find the square root for 121? Please explain step by step to get marked as brainliest!
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

+ or - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the square root of 121, think of a number that multiplied by itself would get to 121. This number is 11. However, do remember that the number could also be negative 11 bencause a negative times a negative becomes positive.  I would advise you to try memorizing the squares of 0 to 15 to help you with this. Otherwise, you can just use a calculator.

Hope this helps! :)
