2r=5s/2-s/4
First step is to take LCM of 2 and 4.
LCM of 2 and 4 is 4
2nd step is to make a common denominator by multiplying 2 with both numerator and denominator of 5s/2.
After multiplication we got
5s/2 =(5s*2)/(2*2 )= 10s/4
3rd step
2r=10s/4 - s/4
4th step is to take a LCM of the term 10s/4 - s/4 and simplify it.
(10s-s)/4 after simplifying we got 9s/4
5th step
2r=9s/4
5th step, Now we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
2r*4=(9s*4)/4 after simplification we got
8r=9s
6th step, Now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 9.
8r/9 =9s/9
After simplification we got
8r/9=s that is s=8r/9 is the final answer.
