What is s in 2m+4s=16 if m=-2

s = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2m + 4s = 16

Step 1:  Plug in -2 for m

2(-2) + 4s = 16

-4 + 4s = 16

Step 2:  Solve for s

-4 + 4s + 4 = 16 + 4

4s / 4 = 20 / 4

s = 5

s = 5

s= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

s= 5

m= - 2

2m + 4s= 16

Replace the m with the value it is in brackets. Remember brackets mean to multiply.

2(-2) + 4s= 16

-4 + 4s= 16

Carry over the -4 and make s the subject.

4s= 16 - - 4

4s= 16 + 4

4s= 20

s= 20/4

s= 5

Therefore s= 5

To check if the answer was correct, replace the s and m with the value it is in brackets. s= 5; m= 2

2(-2) + 4(5)= 16

-4 + 20 = 16

Therefore s= 5 and the answer is correct!
