Question

Solve for s. 86 = s 8 + 76

Answer 1

Answer: s = 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

s = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for s:

86 = 8 s + 76

86 = 8 s + 76 is equivalent to 8 s + 76 = 86:

8 s + 76 = 86

Subtract 76 from both sides:

8 s + (76 - 76) = 86 - 76

76 - 76 = 0:

8 s = 86 - 76

86 - 76 = 10:

8 s = 10

Divide both sides of 8 s = 10 by 8:

(8 s)/8 = 10/8

8/8 = 1:

s = 10/8

The gcd of 10 and 8 is 2, so 10/8 = (2×5)/(2×4) = 2/2×5/4 = 5/4:

Answer:  s = 5/4
