Question

Solve for s: -0.2=s+(-0.8)

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{s=0.6}$

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. $\boxed{0.6=s}$

Answer 2

Answer:

s + (-.8)=-0.2

s = 0.6 is the answer
