Question 175159


{{{-s+4=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=(-7)/(-8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-8}}} to isolate {{{s}}}.



{{{s=7/8}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{s=7/8}}} which approximates to {{{s=0.875}}}.
