-s%2B4=7s-3 Start with the given equation.


-s=7s-3-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


-s-7s=-3-4 Subtract 7s from both sides.


-8s=-3-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-8s=-7 Combine like terms on the right side.


s=%28-7%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate s.


s=7%2F8 Reduce.
