Hi there! :)
Answer:
s=144
*The answer must have a positive sign.*
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving One-Step Equations: Multiplication and Division.
Division property of equality is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number does not change the equation.
a÷c=b÷c for c≠0
Multiplication property of equality is multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number does not change the equation.
[tex]a*c=b*c[/tex]
First, multiply by 2 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]2*\frac{1}{2}s=72*2[/tex]
And then, simplify or solve equation. Multiply by the numbers.
[tex]72*2=144[/tex]
[tex]s=144[/tex]
Hope this helps!
