The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Hard problem

A system's power output is w=xyw = xy watts, where x=2s+tx = 2s+t and y=s−3ty = s-3t are intermediate quantities controlled by two dials ss and tt. With the dial tt fixed at 44, for what value of ss is ∂w∂s=0\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial s} = 0?
