Is s = 139 a solution to this equation? –139/s = –4 Choices: (A)yes (B)no

Identify Equation: We have the equation: -139 / s = -4 Identify the equation after substituting s = 139. Substitute 139 for s in -139 / s = -4. Equation: -139 / 139 = -4Substitute and Simplify: Simplify -139 / 139. -139 / 139 = -1Check Solution: We found: -139/139 = -1 Is s = 139 a solution to the equation -139 / s = -4? For s=139, the equation becomes -1 = -4, which is not true. So, s = 139 is not a solution to the equation -139 / s = -4.
