Solution

The correct option is B 3
The given expression is 3s - 4 = s + 2

Undo the subtraction on the left side using the addition property of equality.

3s - 4 + 4 = s + 2 + 4

⇒ 3s = s + 6

Undo the addition of variable on the right side by using the subtraction property of equality.

3s - s = s + 6 - s

⇒ 2s = 6

Undo the multiplication by using the division property of equality.

2s $\div$ 2 = 6 $\div$ 2

⇒ s = 3

Hence, the value of s is 3.
