Question

-16.68 + 1.8s + 2.2 = 3s - 6.4

Answer 1

Answer:

s = -6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

- 16.68 + 1.8s + 2.2 = 3s - 6.4

- 16.68 + 2.2 + 1.8s = 3s - 6.4

- 14.48 + 1.8s = 3s - 6.4

Collect like terms

Note: crossing over equals to, the sign will change

Hint: either from

- to +

Or

+ to -

-14.48 + 6.4 = 3s - 1.8s

-8.08 = 3s - 1.8s

-8.08 = 1.2s

Divide both sides by 1.2, to get the value of s

-8.08/1.2 = 1.2s/1.2

-6.7 = s

s = -6.7
