3(4 - 3s) = 30
First, divide both sides by 3.
\(4 - 3s = \frac{30}{3}\)
Second, since 10 goes into 3 to get 30, simplify the fraction to 10.
\(4 - 3s = 10\)
Third, subtract 4 from both sides.
\(-3s = 10 - 4\)
Fourth, subtract 10 - 4.
\(-3s = 6\)
Fifth, divide both sides by -3.
\(s = \frac{6}{-3}\)
Sixth, simplify to turn the whole fraction into a negative.
\(s = -\frac{6}{3}\)
Seventh, since 2 goes into 3 to get 6, simplify the fraction to 2.
\(s = -2\)
Answer: s = -2
