Solve for s. 2(s + 18) + 4 ≥ 16 ______

Distribute 2: Distribute 2 into the parentheses. 2(s + 18) + 4 = 2s + 36 + 4Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the inequality. 2s + 36 + 4 = 2s + 40Subtract 40: Subtract 40 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable s. 2s + 40 - 40 ≥ 16 - 40Simplify inequality: Simplify both sides of the inequality. 2s ≥ -24Divide by 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by 2 to solve for s. 2s/2 ≥ -24/2Find value of s: Simplify both sides of the inequality to find the value of s. s ≥ -12

Q. Solve for

s

\newline

2(s + 18) + 4 \geq 16

Distribute $2$ : Distribute $2$ into the parentheses. $\newline$ $2(s + 18) + 4 = 2s + 36 + 4$
Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the inequality. $2s + 36 + 4 = 2s + 40$
Subtract $40$ : Subtract $40$ from both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable $s$ . $\newline$ $2s + 40 - 40 \geq 16 - 40$
Simplify inequality: Simplify both sides of the inequality. $2s \geq -24$
Divide by $2$ : Divide both sides of the inequality by $2$ to solve for $s$ . $\frac{2s}{2} \geq \frac{-24}{2}$
Find value of $\newline$ $s$ : Simplify both sides of the inequality to find the value of $\newline$ $s$ . $\newline$ $\newline$ $s \geq -12$
