You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-7s-8=10s+1
\n" ); document.write( "You only need to combine like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "First add 7s to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "-7s+7s-8=10s+1+7s
\n" ); document.write( "-8=17s+1 Now substract -1 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-8-1=17s+1-1
\n" ); document.write( "-9=17s
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for s:
\n" ); document.write( "s= -9/17 Since you cannot reduce it farther, this is your final answer. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
