-10(s + 1) = -87 

The same way you do positive numbers, you do negative number. Multiply whatever is in the parenthesis by what's on the outside, which in this case is -10. So: 

-10*s + -10*1 = -87 
-10s + -10 = -87

To solve, first add -10 to both sides

-10s = -77 

next, divide both sides by -10

s = 7.7 

To check the answer, plug the solution into the original equation
-10(s+1) = -87
-10(7.7 + 1) = -87
-10(8.7) = -87
-87 = -87 

(for the first one, is there a variable involved?)

The first one is incomplete.

-10(s+1)=-87\\
-10s-10=-87\\
-10s=-77\\
s=7.7

Ashley has 100 books that she wants to give away at the rate of n books per week. Write a recursive function that represents the
Fofino [41]

She gives away n books per week, so If w =week number , then she has (100-nw) books left at any time.

this will be the explicit formula.

so we need to write in terms of recrusive.

to be recrusive each term must be expressed in terms of previous term.

in this represent a_{w[tex] +1} [/tex] in terms of a_{w}

a_{w} =100-n(w-1)

a_{w+1} =100-n(w+1-1)

replace w+1 in place of w .

a_{W+1} =100-nwa_{w} =a_{w+1} +n.

a_{w} -n=a_{w+1}. this will be the recrusive expression for number of books she left.
