Question

Solve for s. 0.5s+1=7+4.5s0.5s+1=7+4.5s

Answer 1

The answer.....s equals -1.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$s=-1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

$0.5s+1=7+4.5s$

the first step is to put all the terms with the variable we want to solve for on one side of the equation, in this case I will put all the terms with $s$ on the right side, and all the independent terms on the left side.

$1-7=4.5s-0.5s$

Solving for $s$ we have the following:

$-6=4s$

$\frac{-6}{4} =s$

$-1.5 =s$

the answer is: $s=-1.5$
