Full solution

Q. −2(s−8)=−16-2(s - 8) = -16 \newline s=□s = \square
  1. Distribute and Simplify: Simplify –2(s−8)–2(s − 8) by using the distributive property.\newline–2(s−8)–2(s − 8)\newline= –2(s)+–2(−8)–2(s) + –2(−8)\newline= –2s+16–2s + 16
  2. Set Equal to −16-16: Set the simplified expression equal to –16–16.–2s+16=–16–2s + 16 = –16
  3. Isolate −2s-2s: Isolate –2s–2s by subtracting 1616 from both sides of the equation.\newline–2s+16−16=–16−16–2s + 16 - 16 = –16 - 16\newline–2s=–32–2s = –32
  4. Solve for s: Solve for s by dividing both sides of the equation by –2–2.–2s–2=–32–2\frac{–2s}{–2} = \frac{–32}{–2}s=16s = 16
