5(s + 6)= 3(s - 2)
multiply 5 and 3 by their parentheses

5s + 30= 3s - 6
subtract 3s from both sides

2s + 30= -6
subtract 30 from both sides

2s= -36
divide both sides by 2

s= -18


CHECK:
5(s + 6)= 3(s - 2)
5(-18 + 6)= 3(-18 - 2)
5(-12)= 3(-20)
-60= -60


ANSWER: The value of s that makes the statement true is -18.

Hope this helps! :)

Find the solution set for the following problem. 5 diminished by 3 times a number is at most 11.
leva [86]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is define the following variable:
 x = unknown number
 We now write the following inequality:
 5-3x <= 11
 We clear x:
 5-11 <= 3x
 -6 <= 3x
 -6/3 <= x
 -2 <= x
 The solution set is:
 [-2, inf)
 Answer:
 
the solution set is:
 
[-2, inf)
