Simplify both sides of the equation
-4.8=1.2s+2s+4
Combine like terms
-4.8=(1.2s+2s)+(4)
-4.8=3.2s+4
Flip the equation
3.2s+4=-4.8
Subtract both sides by 4
3.2s+4-4=-4.8-4
3.2s=-8.8
Divide both sides by 3.2
3.2s/3.2= -8.8/3.2
S=-2.75 will be the answer hope it helps
Answer:
I think the answer is 672 please be right
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1. you distrubute the -4 to the -2x and +7.
2.you combine like terms.
3.you get X in one side of the equation.
4.You divide 1 by 6.
1/2x + 42 = 4x
-1/2x -1/2x
------------------------
42 = 3.5x
/3.5 /3.5
------------------------
12 = x
the number is 12
explanation: 42 more than 1/2 of a number can be written as 1/2x + 42
four times a number can be written as 4x.
42 more than 1/2 of a number is equal to 4 times a number. So 1/2x + 42 = 4x.
Hope this helps :)
