See the entire simplification process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(4)# to solve for #s# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(4) xx s/4 = color(red)(4) xx 4.2#

#cancel(color(red)(4)) xx s/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4))) = 16.8#

#s = 16.8#
