Solve 6s-4=8(2+1/4s)

$$6 s - 4 = 8 ( 2 + \frac { 1 } { 4 } s )$$

Solve for s

$$s=5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 2+\frac{1}{4}s.

$$6s-4=16+8\times \frac{1}{4}s$$

Multiply 8 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{8}{4}.

$$6s-4=16+\frac{8}{4}s$$

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

$$6s-4=16+2s$$

Subtract 2s from both sides.

$$6s-4-2s=16$$

Combine 6s and -2s to get 4s.

$$4s-4=16$$

Add 4 to both sides.

$$4s=16+4$$

Add 16 and 4 to get 20.

$$4s=20$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$s=\frac{20}{4}$$

Divide 20 by 4 to get 5.

$$s=5$$
