Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Use formula

Substitute it into the first fraction:

Consider the whole expression:

Done!
You gave little context, so here is a few solutions.
POSSIBLE #1:
assuming s is a variable
---> Simplify
×
to 

---> Collect like terms.

---> Simplify.

POSSIBLE #2: (assuming s is not relevant)
Simplifying
4x + -12 = 16 + 8x
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 4x = 16 + 8x
Solving
-12 + 4x = 16 + 8x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 4x + -8x = 16 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 4x + -8x = -4x
-12 + -4x = 16 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
-12 + -4x = 16 + 0
-12 + -4x = 16
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + -4x = 16 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -4x = 16 + 12
-4x = 16 + 12
Combine like terms: 16 + 12 = 28
-4x = 28
Divide each side by '-4'.
x = -7
Simplifying
x = -7

Answer:
<h3>
1) 7x - 5
</h3><h3>
2) 9y - 18
</h3><h3>
3) 0.5n + 4n
</h3><h3>
4) 2(w³+23)</h3><h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
1)
The product of seven and a number x: 7·x = 7x
<u>Five less than the product of seven and a number x:</u>
<h3>
7x - 5
</h3>
2)
nine times a number y: 9·y = 9y
<u>The difference of nine times a number y and eighteen:</u>
<h3>
9y - 18
</h3>
3)
half a number n: 0.5n
four times the number: 4·n = 4n
<u>Half a number n increased by four times the number:</u>
<h3>
0.5n + 4n
</h3>
4)
a number w cubed: w³
the sum of a number w cubed and twenty-three: w³+23
<u>Twice the sum of a number w cubed and twenty-three:</u>
<h3>2(
w³+23)</h3>
Looks good to me but I’m not the best at math. Sorry I couldn’t be a huge help.
