Question

Can you please help me with this before monday it would really help me 3(4 - 3s)=30

Answer 1

3(4 - 3s) = 30

First, divide both sides by 3.
$4 - 3s = \frac{30}{3}$
Second, since 10 goes into 3 to get 30, simplify the fraction to 10.
$4 - 3s = 10$
Third, subtract 4 from both sides. 
$-3s = 10 - 4$
Fourth, subtract 10 - 4.
$-3s = 6$
Fifth, divide both sides by -3.
$s = \frac{6}{-3}$
Sixth, simplify to turn the whole fraction into a negative.
$s = -\frac{6}{3}$
Seventh, since 2 goes into 3 to get 6, simplify the fraction to 2.
$s = -2$

Answer: s = -2
