Solve the following equation
6s+6=3(s+6)
Solve for s
6s + 6 = 3(s + 6)
Simplify by removing parenthesesSimplify 3(s + 6):
Distribute the 3 to each term in (s+6)
3 * s = (3 * 1)s = 3s
3 * 6 = (3 * 6) = 18
Our Total expanded term is 3s + 18
Our new term is
6s + 6 = 3s + 18
Simplify by removing parentheses
Our new term is
6s + 6 = 3s + 18
Group variables
Group our variables 6s and 3s
subtract 3s from both sides
6s + 6 - 3s = 3s + 18 - 3s
Cancel 3s on the right side:
3s + 6 = 18
Divide each side by 6
| 6s | |
| 6 |
| = |
| 6 |
| 6 |
Group constants
Group our constants 6 and 18.
subtract 6 from both sides
3s + 6 - 6 = 18 - 6
Cancel 6 on the left side:
3s = 12
Divide each side of the equation by 3
| 3s | |
| 3 |
| = |
| 12 |
| 3 |
s = 4
Final Answer
s = 4
