-10 − 8s − 1 = -7 − 4s
-10-1-8s= -7-4s
-11-8s= -7-4s
move -4s to the other side
sign changes from -4s to +4s
-11-8s+4s=-7-4s+4s ( combine like terms)
-11-4s=- 7
move -11 to the other side
-11+11-4s= -7+11
-4s= 4
divide both sides by -4
to get +s
to get s by itself
-4s/-4= 4/-4
answer:
s= -1
Hey!
-------------------------------------------------
Steps To Solve:
-10 − 8s − 1 = -7 − 4s
~Simplify
-11 - 8s = -7 - 4s
~Add 4s to both sides
-11 - 8s + 4s = -7 - 4s + 4s
~Simplify
-11 - 4s = -7
~Add 11 to both sides
-11 + 11 - 4s = -7 + 11
~Simplify
-4s = 4
~Divide -4 to both sides
-4s/-4 = 4/-4
~Simplify
s = -1
-------------------------------------------------
Hence, the answer is [tex]\Large\boxed{\mathsf{s~=~-1}}[/tex]
