Solve the equation - 5 (s+30) = -17

s = - 133/5 = - 26.600 ⬇️

Step-by-step explanation:

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Equation at the end of step 1:

(0 - 5 • (s + 30)) - - 17 = 0

Step 2:

Step 3:

Pulling out like terms:

3.1 Pull out like factors:

-5s - 133 = - 1 • (5s + 133)

Equation at the end of step 3:

-5s - 133 = 0

Step 4:

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.1 Solve : - 5s-133 = 0

Add 133 to both sides of the equation:

-5s = 133

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 5s = - 133

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

s = - 133/5 = - 26.600

One solution was found:

s = - 133/5 = - 26.600
