Question

What is the solution to this equation? –5(s – 30) = –10

Answer 1

Distribute first:

-5s + 150 = -10

Subtract 150:

-5s = -160

Divide by -5:

s = 32

Answer 2

Answer:

There is nothing more that can be done with this equation to solve it. If you mean to solve for s, your answer would be 32.

How? You divide both sides by the numeric factor on the left and solve.

If you mean something else, let me know in the comments and I'll help! I just don't fully understand since the question is already solved.

Hope I helped! ~Chaos
