-2%285s-3%29-6=-3%287s%2B6%29-4 Start with the given equation.


-10s%2B6-6=-21s-18-4 Distribute.


-10s=-21s-18-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-10s=-22-21s Combine like terms on the right side.


-10s%2B21s=-22 Add 21s to both sides.


11s=-22 Combine like terms on the left side.


s=%28-22%29%2F%2811%29 Divide both sides by 11 to isolate s.


s=-2 Reduce.
