Solve for \( s \) in the equation \( r - 2s = 14 \).

Explain how to do this.

R − 2 s = 14 ∣ S u b t r a c t R − 2 s = 14 − R ∣ D i v i d e b y − 2 s = − 2 14 − R ​ = − 7 − 2 R ​ S o l u t i o n i s s = − 7 − 2 R ​ .

To solve the equation r-2s=14 for s, isolate s by adding 2s to both sides, subtracting 14 from both sides, and finally dividing both sides by 2 to get s by itself as (r - 14) / 2.
To do this, you should follow these steps:
Start with the original equation: r - 2s = 14.
Add 2s to both sides of the equation to move the term involving s to the right side, which gives us r = 14 + 2s.
Then, subtract 14 from both sides to isolate the terms with s : r - 14 = 2s.
To get s by itself, divide both sides of the equation by 2: (r - 14) / 2 = s.
Now you have s isolated and the equation solved for s .
