Solve for s.

2 - 28 = 8 + 13

S

=

-2.615

Step-by-step explanation:

s = - 34/13 = - 2.615

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

2-28 - (8+13*s) = 0

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Pulling out like terms:

1.1 Pull out like factors:

-34 - 13s = - 1 • (13s + 34)

Equation at the end of step 1:

Step 2:

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.1 Solve : - 13s-34 = 0

Add 34 to both sides of the equation:

-13s = 34

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 13s = - 34

Divide both sides of the equation by 13:

s = - 34/13 = - 2.615

One solution was found:

s = - 34/13 = - 2.615
