Question

Solve for s:

-0.2=s+(-0.8)

Answer 1

s + (-.8)=-0.2

s = 0.6 is the answer

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{s=0.6}`

First, simplify. Adding a negative is the same as subtracting.
`-0.2=s-0.8`

Add
`0.8` on both sides.
`-0.2+0.8=s`

Rearrange the terms to simplify.
`0.8-0.2=s`

Subtract.
`\boxed{0.6=s}`
