If the question is about
2s = 38 then, dividing both sides by 2, s = 19.

If 2s = 5 then s = 2.5. So by letting s equal 2.5 (two and one half) you will allow 2s to equal 5.
2s-4 equals 2(s-2). You can find the answer by factoring two out of both numbers.
2s-2b= a+b+c-2b simplified that would be a+c-b.
Points: (s, 2s) and (3s, 8s) Slope: (8s-2s)/(3s-s) = 6s/2s = 3 Perpendicular slope: -1/3 Midpoint: (s+3s)/2 and (2s+8s)/2 = (2s, 5s) Equation: y-5s = -1/3(x-2s) => 3y-15s = -1(x-2s) => 3y = -x+17x Perpendicular bisector equation in its general form: x+3y-17s = 0
A = (s, 2s), B = (3s, 8s) The midpoint of AB is C = [(s + 3s)/2, (2s + 8s)/2] = [4s/2, 10s/2] = (2s, 5s) Gradient of AB = (8s - 2s)/(3s - s) = 6s/2s = 3 Gradient of perpendicular to AB = -1/(slope AB) = -1/3 Now, line through C = (2s, 5s) with gradient -1/3 is y - 5s = -1/3*(x - 2s) = 1/3*(2s - x) or 3y - 15s = 2s - x or x + 3y = 17s
