Answer: s = 36
Step-by-step explanation: The key to solving multistep equations is isolating the variable. This is why I first subtracted 14 on each side. This left me with 1/3s=12. Then, to isolate "s" even more, I didvided by 1/3 on each side. This gave me s = 36 as an answer.
To divide by a fraction, use "keep change flip." Keep the first mumber, change division to multiplication, and flip the fraction. I included a picture of me doing this.

Going upstream: 432 km / 6 hours = 72 km/h
Going downstream: 384 km / 4 hours = 96 km/h
Going upstream against the current means that the effective speed is:
r_boat - r_current = 72
Meanwhile, going downstream with the current means;
r_boat + r_current = 96
Adding both equations (to cancel out r_current) gives:
2r_boat = 72 + 96
r_boat = 84 km/h
Substituting back into one of the original equations: r_current = 12 km/h.
You would do 2 divided by 9 to get that each person would have 2/9 of a gallon or .22 of a gallon. I hope this helps.
Answer:
A. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ratio between the terms listed is 2. Each term is being multiplied by 2, so to find the first term, you have to divide the first term listed by 2.
4/2 = 2
