Hi! I am just starting algebra in my class, and I do not get it.

Question

If s=10, then 5s=?

Answer 1

50.

Answer 2

Hi! I'm just going to clearify how to get the answer, s=10 and a variable next to an number means to multiply, so you multiply 10 and 5 so you would, in fact get 50!!! :)

Answer 3

s=10
5s=5*s=5*10= 50
