Three times a number s plus 4 times a number y is 1 more than 6 times the number s. solve for s

"Three times a number S" is 3s.

"Plus 4 times a number y" is + 4y

"is" =

"1 more than" is 1 +

"6 times the number S" is 6s.

The equation is:

3s+4y=1+6s

subtract 3s:

4y = 1 + 3s

subtract 1:

4y - 1 = 3s

Divide everything by 3:

4y/3 - 1/3 = s

Three times a number s = > 3s

4 times a number y = > 4y

1 more than 6 times the number s = > 6s + 1

The full equation would be:

3s + 4y = 6s + 1

Solve for s.

group same letter numbers and change its signs.

3s - 6s = - 4y + 1

-3s = - 4y + 1

solve for s. divide both sides by - 3

-3s / - 3 = (-4y + 1) / - 3

s = (4y - 1) / 3
