-8 x 7/12 = -56/12 or -4 and 2/3
You said that 4(2s - 1) = 7s + 12Eliminate parentheses: 8s - 4 = 7s + 12Add 4 to each side: 8s = 7s + 16Subtract 7s from each side: s = 16
-1, - 1 , -1 and -56. When multiplied together, they make +56.
4
Bring all the unknown values to one side and the known values to the other 7s - 12 = 3s - 4 Subtract 3s from both sides 7s - 3s - 12 = 4 4s - 12 = 4 Add 12 to both sides 4s = 4 + 12 4s = 16 Divide both sides by 4 s = 4
