Cancel the common factor.

$2 + 4 s = \frac{- 1}{2} (2 s) - \frac{3}{2} \cdot - 4 + 3$

Rewrite the expression.

$2 + 4 s = - 1 s - \frac{3}{2} \cdot - 4 + 3$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{3}{2}$ into the numerator.

$2 + 4 s = - 1 s + \frac{- 3}{2} \cdot - 4 + 3$

Factor $2$ out of $- 4$ .

$2 + 4 s = - 1 s + \frac{- 3}{2} \cdot (2 (- 2)) + 3$

Cancel the common factor.

$2 + 4 s = - 1 s + \frac{- 3}{2} \cdot (2 \cdot - 2) + 3$

Rewrite the expression.

$2 + 4 s = - 1 s - 3 \cdot - 2 + 3$

Multiply $- 3$ by $- 2$ .

$2 + 4 s = - 1 s + 6 + 3$

Rewrite $- 1 s$ as $- s$ .

$2 + 4 s = - s + 6 + 3$

Add $6$ and $3$ .

$2 + 4 s = - s + 9$

Step 3

Move all terms containing $s$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $s$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 + 4 s + s = 9$

Add $4 s$ and $s$ .

$2 + 5 s = 9$

Step 4

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

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$5 s = 9 - 2$

Subtract $2$ from $9$ .

$5 s = 7$

Step 5

Divide each term in $5 s = 7$ by $5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $5 s = 7$ by $5$ .

$\frac{5 s}{5} = \frac{7}{5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 s}{5} = \frac{7}{5}$
