-5(s+24=14s+24
What value of s makes the equation true? Enter the answer in the box.
To solve the equation, we first need to simplify it:
-5s + 24 = 14s + 24
Next, we want to move all the terms containing s to one side of the equation:
-5s - 14s = 24 - 24
This simplifies to:
-19s = 0
To isolate s, we divide both sides of the equation by -19:
s = 0
So the value of s that makes the equation true is s = 0.
