s-4x+8=2-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by x-2.
s+8=2-2x+4x
Add 4x to both sides.
s+8=2+2x
Combine -2x and 4x to get 2x.
s=2+2x-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
s=-6+2x
Subtract 8 from 2 to get -6.
s-4x+8=2-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by x-2.
s-4x+8+2x=2
Add 2x to both sides.
s-2x+8=2
Combine -4x and 2x to get -2x.
-2x+8=2-s
Subtract s from both sides.
-2x=2-s-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-2x=-6-s
Subtract 8 from 2 to get -6.
-2x=-s-6
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-s-6}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{-s-6}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{s}{2}+3
Divide -6-s by -2.
