How can you isolate s on the right-hand side?
s=3.5
To solve the equation we need to isolate s on one side of the equation. By dividing both sides by 5, we can cancel 5 from the right-hand side.
Divide by 5
Calculate quotient
Rearrange equation
Therefore, s=3.5 is the solution to the equation. To check that we have the correct solution, we can substitute s=3.5 into the original equation and simplify.
Since the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, s=3.5 is the correct solution.
