Solve -2(5s-2)-4=-3(7s+6)-4

$$- 2 ( 5 s - 2 ) - 4 = - 3 ( 7 s + 6 ) - 4$$

Solve for s

$$s=-2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 5s-2.

$$-10s+4-4=-3\left(7s+6\right)-4$$

Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.

$$-10s=-3\left(7s+6\right)-4$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 7s+6.

$$-10s=-21s-18-4$$

Subtract 4 from -18 to get -22.

$$-10s=-21s-22$$

Add 21s to both sides.

$$-10s+21s=-22$$

Combine -10s and 21s to get 11s.

$$11s=-22$$

Divide both sides by 11.

$$s=\frac{-22}{11}$$

Divide -22 by 11 to get -2.

$$s=-2$$
