✔ 最佳答案
2+s/3 + s+7/2 = 4s+1

6(2+s/3 + s+7/2 = 4s+1)6

4 + 2s + 3s + 21 = 24s + 6

-19s = -19

-19s/-19 = -19/-19

s = 1

Do you mean :-
(2 + s) / 3 + (s + 7) / 2 = 4s + 1 ??????
2 (2 + s) + 3(s + 7) = 24s + 6
4 + 2s + 3s + 21 = 24s + 6
19 = 19s
s = 1

PS
Remember you MUST use brackets.

(2 + s)/3 + (s + 7)/2 = 4s + 1
6[(2 + s)/3 + (s + 7)/2] = 6(4s + 1)
2(2 + s) + 3(s + 7) = 6*4s + 6*1
4 + 2s + 3s + 21 = 24s + 6
4 + 5s + 21 = 24s + 6
5s - 24s = -4 + 6 - 21
-19s = -19
s = -19/-19
s = 19/19
s = 1

2+s/3+s+7/2=4s+1-- minus 4s at the right and left hand side of the equation

2+s/3+s+7/2-4s=4s+1-4s

2+s/3+s+7/2-4s=1--grouping numbers together and unknowns another side

2+7/2+s/3+s-4s=1--then, shift the numbers to the right hand side of the equation by subtracting both sides with 2 and 7/2.

2+7/2+s/3+s-4s-2-7/2=1-2-7/2

s/3+s-4s= -1-7/2 -- -7/2= -3 1/2(-3 1/2 is not - 31/2)

s/3-3s= -4 1/2 -- factorise s/3-3s : (sx1/3) - (3xs) = s(1/3-3) *s is a common factor

s(1/3-3) = -4 1/2

s(-2 2/3) = - 4 1/2 -- change the mix numbers into improper fraction

s(-8/3) = -9/2 -- divide both sides with -8/3 to obtain s

s(-8/3)/(-8/3)= (-9/2)/(-8/3) -- refer to this link: dividing fractions

s= -9/2 x -3/8
s=27/16
s= 1 11/16

2+s/3 + s+7/2=4s+1
s/3 + s+7/2=4s-1 (subtract 2 from both sides)
s/3 + 7/2=3s-1 (subtract s from both sides)
s/3 =3s-9/2 (subtract 7/2 from both sides)
s=9s-27/2 (multiply both sides by 3)
0=8s-27/2 (subtract s from both sides)
27/2 = 8s (add 27/2 to both sides)
27/16=s (divide both sides by 8)

...By the time I posted this you had received four DIFFERENT answers!

Good luck figuring out who is right!

Hint (plug each answer into the equation and see which it is. Try mine first!)

get all s's on left side
subtract 4s from right side
get all numbers on right side
subtract 2, subtract 7/2
s/3-3s=-4.5
multiply by three
s-3s=-13.5
-2s=-13.5
divide both sides by -2
s=6.75

First, multiply the whole equation by 6 to get rid of the 3 and 2 in the denominators.
Then you get
12 + 2s + 3(s + 7) = 6(4s + 1)
12 + 2s + 3s + 21 = 24s + 6
33 + 5s = 24s + 6
19s = -27
s = -27/19
