Solve for s 1/3s+14=26

$\frac{1}{3} s + 14 = 26$

Step 1

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $s$ .

$\frac{s}{3} + 14 = 26$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $s$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $14$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{s}{3} = 26 - 14$

Subtract $14$ from $26$ .

$\frac{s}{3} = 12$

Step 3

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$ .

$3 \frac{s}{3} = 3 \cdot 12$

Step 4

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$3 \frac{s}{3} = 3 \cdot 12$

Rewrite the expression.

$s = 3 \cdot 12$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $3$ by $12$ .

$s = 36$
