Solve this equation: 2s + s + 12 = 132?

Question

A. s = 120 B. s = 40 C. s = -30 D. s = 9I'm thinking B/40 ??? Any opinions. I'm trying so hard to understand this algebra stuff, never took it in high school many of years ago, and now going back to school to get my diploma. any help is so much appreciated.

2s + s + 12 =1323s +12 =1323s = 120s = 40

Lavinia Carroll · Answer

This is a simple question-2s+s+12=132From (A.) substitute the value of s2(120) + 120+ 12 2* 120+120+12 will not be equal to 132similarly,in option B,2(40) + 40+ 12 = 1322*40 +40+12=132132 = 132LHS = RHSHence provedSimilarly try for all other options!If LHS = RHS,Then the equation is correctGood Day

Lavinia Carroll · Answer

Yes, S = 40. Here is how to get it. 2S + S + 12 = 1322S + S = 132 - 123S = 120S = 120 / 3S = 40Intro to Algebra is easy as long as you know your multiplication Table and remember to change the sign when you move numbers or sign to the other side of the equal sign. Good luck on your diploma. =)

2s+s+12=132 First you combine like terms3s+12=132 Then you subtract 12 from both sides3s=120 Then you divide by 3 on both sidess=40

Lavinia Carroll · Answer

Think of the single "s" as being "1s". So, 2s + 1s + 12 = 132Get the 12 on the other side of the equals sign by subtracting (since 12 is positive on the one side, you would just reverse signs to get it on the other side. If it were negative, then you would add 12). Anything you do on one side of the equals sign you will do on the other side:2s + 1s + 12 - 12 = 132 - 122s + 1s = 120Then, you can add the s values:2s + 1s = 1203s = 120Now you solve for s. Since 3s is really 3 times s (3 X s), you would divide by 3 to get the value of just s. Again, what you do on one side of the equals sign you do on the other:3s/3 = 120/3s = 40 Hope this helps.

Lavinia Carroll · Answer

12 - 132 = 120. 3s=120 divide S= 40

Lavinia Carroll · Answer

2s + s + 12 = 1323s + 12 = 1323s = 132 - 123s = 120s = 120/ 3 s = 40so it is B

Lavinia Carroll · Answer

2s + s+ 12 =132 3s +12 = 132 3s = 132 - 12 3s = 120 s = 120/3 s = 40so the answer is b

Lavinia Carroll · Answer

40

Lavinia Carroll · Answer

s= 40 because 132-12= 120, combine like terms so you get 3s, 3s=120 divide by 3 and your answer is 40.
