Multiply the whole equation by 4 to cancel out the fractions.
(2r = 5s/2 - s/4)*4
8r = 10s - s
8r = 9s
8r/9 = s
s = 8r/9

Answer:

[tex]s=\frac{8r}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

[tex]2r=\frac{5s}{2}-\frac{s}{4}[/tex]

We need to solve this equation for s.

Simplify the right side of the equation.

Taking LCD on right side of the equation we get

[tex]2r=\frac{2(5s)-s}{4}[/tex]

[tex]2r=\frac{10s-s}{4}[/tex]

[tex]2r=\frac{9s}{4}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 4.

[tex]2r\times 4=\frac{9s}{4}\times 4[/tex]

[tex]8r=9s[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9.

[tex]\frac{8r}{9}=s[/tex]

Interchange the sides.

[tex]s=\frac{8r}{9}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of s is [tex]s=\frac{8r}{9}[/tex].
