Solve for s. -8s = -7s + 10 s = ____

Isolate variable s: First, we want to isolate the variable s on one side of the equation. To do this, we can add 7s to both sides of the equation to move all the s terms to one side. -8s + 7s = -7s + 7s + 10Simplify both sides: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms. (-8s + 7s) = (10) (-1s) = 10Divide to isolate s: To solve for s, we divide both sides of the equation by -1 to isolate s. (-1s) / (-1) = 10 / (-1)Final value of s: After dividing, we get the value of s. s = -10

Q. Solve for

s

\newline

-8s = -7s + 10

\newline

s =

____

Isolate variable $s$ : First, we want to isolate the variable $s$ on one side of the equation. To do this, we can add $7s$ to both sides of the equation to move all the $s$ terms to one side. $\newline$ $-8s + 7s = -7s + 7s + 10$
Simplify both sides: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms. $\newline$ $(-8s + 7s) = (10)$ $\newline$ $(-1s) = 10$
Divide to isolate $s$ : To solve for $s$ , we divide both sides of the equation by $-1$ to isolate $s$ . $\frac{-1s}{-1} = \frac{10}{-1}$
Final value of extit{s}: After dividing, we get the value of extit{s}. $\newline$ extit{s} = $-10$
