Rearrange Equation: Move all terms containing s to one side of the equation and constant terms to the other side.8−4s−s=s+13−sThis simplifies to:8−5s=13
Isolate Term with s: Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with s. 8−5s−8=13−8 This simplifies to: −5s=5
Solve for s: Divide both sides of the equation by −5 to solve for s.−5s/−5=5/−5This simplifies to:s=−1
