Question

8s-10=27-(3s-7) What does “s” equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

s = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for s:

8 s - 10 = 34 - 3 s

Add 3 s to both sides:

8 s + 3 s - 10 = (3 s - 3 s) + 34

3 s - 3 s = 0:

8 s + 3 s - 10 = 34

8 s + 3 s = 11 s:

11 s - 10 = 34

Add 10 to both sides:

11 s + (10 - 10) = 10 + 34

10 - 10 = 0:

11 s = 34 + 10

34 + 10 = 44:

11 s = 44

Divide both sides of 11 s = 44 by 11:

(11 s)/11 = 44/11

11/11 = 1:

s = 44/11

The gcd of 44 and 11 is 11, so 44/11 = (11×4)/(11×1) = 11/11×4 = 4:

Answer:  s = 4
