Solve the equation 2s+s+12=132

The answer is 40! You combine like terms and get the opposite variables to the left and regular number with out the variable to the right and then solve so 40!

2s + s + 12 = 132

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2s + s + 12 = 132

Simplify: Let's simplify step-by-step.

2s + s + 12 = 132

(2s + s) + (12) = 132 (Combine Like Terms)

3s + 12 = 132

3s + 12 = 132

Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.

3s + 12 - 12 = 132-12

3s = 120

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3s / 3 = 120/3 s = 40
