Question

What is the solution to this equation?

-5(s-30)=-10
s=-4
s=8
s = 28
s=32

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

- 5 ( s - 30 ) = - 10 (distribute first!)

- 5s + 150 = - 10 (subtract 150 from both sides to isolate the variable)

- 5s = - 160 (divide both sides by -5)

s = 32 (a negative divided by a negative is a positive)

Hope that helps!
