Question

If 2s + 4 = 4s, then s=?

Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

               Given data:- $2s+4=4s.$

                To find:- Value of the expression.

                Solution:-

• Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

• Step 1:- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.

• Step 2:-then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Step 3:- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.

• Step 4:- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.

• Step 5:- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation. By using the transposition method. we get,

       $2s+4=4s\\\Rightarrow 2 s=4 s-4\\\Rightarrow -2 s=-4\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{-4}{2} \\\Rightarrow s=2.$

     Hence we will get the value $s=2.$

Answer 2

To find : value of $s$

Given equation : $2s + 4 = 4s$

Solution :

• To find the value of $s$ , we take constants at RHS leaving variable at LHS.
• By performing simple subtraction we find the value of $s$.

            $2s + 4 = 4s \\2s - 4s = -4 \\-2s = -4 \\s = 2$

Hence, value of $s$  is $2$ .
