Answer:

S = -32

Explanation:

-5(s - 30) = -10

First distribute -5 to everything in the parenthesis.

-5 * s = -5s

-5 * - 30 = 150

What you have left is -5s + 150 = -10

Subtract 150 from both sides.

-5s + 150 - 150

Both 150's cancel each other out on the left side.

-10 - 150 = -160

What you're left with is -5s = -160

Divide both sides by -5 to get S by itself.

-5s / 5

The 5's cancel each other out on the left side.

-160 / 5 = -32

What you have left is S = - 32
