Question

7s + 2(3 - 2s) = 3(1 + s) + 14
7s + 6 - 4s = 3 + 3s + 14

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify both sides

Left side: \(7s + 2(3 - 2s)=7s + 6 - 4s = 3s+6\)
Right side: \(3(1 + s)+14 = 3 + 3s+14 = 3s + 17\)

Step2: Subtract \(3s\) from both sides

\(3s + 6-3s=3s + 17-3s\)
\(6 = 17\)
This is a contradiction, so the equation has no solution.

Answer:

The equation \(7s + 2(3 - 2s)=3(1 + s)+14\) has no solution.
