Question

Now that you have the s terms on one side, and a constant number on the other side, you need to isolate s to solve for the value of s. What move can you make to both sides of the equation to isolate s on the right side?

Multiply both sides by 4

Multiply both sides by s

Subtract 2 from both sides

Answer 1

To isolate \( s \) in the equation you provided, you should simplify the steps correctly based on your context, but typically in an equation of the form:

\[
\frac{4}{3} s + 8 = s + 10 - \frac{4}{3} s - \frac{4}{3} s
\]

After combining like terms, if you have reached a stage similar to:

\[
8 = \frac{4}{1} s + 10 - 10 - 10
\]

It would follow:

1. First, simplifying it to look like:
\[
8 = 4s
\]
helps in recognizing the next steps.

To isolate \( s \), the direct way is:

- **Divide both sides by the coefficient of \( s \)** (which in this case is 4).

So, the best move to isolate \( s \) directly from the simplified equation \( 8 = 4s \) would be:

**Divide both sides by 4** (not one of the options you provided).

However from your options, the most relevant is:

- **Subtract 2 from both sides**, which effectively is not the correct way to isolate \( s \) in this scenario but could help simplify the left side.

Ultimately, if you want to isolate \( s \), it would be more beneficial to **divide both sides by 4**, which leads to a straightforward solution.
