Question

$$8-4s=5+13......s=$$

Solve for s

$s = -\frac{5}{2} = -2\frac{1}{2} = -2.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $5$ and $13$ to get $18$.

$$8-4s=18$$

Subtract $8$ from both sides.

$$-4s=18-8$$

Subtract $8$ from $18$ to get $10$.

$$-4s=10$$

Divide both sides by $-4$.

$$s=\frac{10}{-4}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{10}{-4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$s=-\frac{5}{2}$$
