Question

Can some one pls help?? its due tomorrow and ive already posted the question once but nobody listened :(

if you cant read it it says 0.75s - 5/8s = 44
5/8s is a fraction.

this is a two step equation btw

thank you so much!

Answer 1

Explanation:

0.75s-5/8s=44

Convert 0.75 to a fraction and then reduce

3/4s-5/s=44

Multiply both sides by 8

8(3/4s-5/8s)=8*44

Distribute 8 through the parenthesis

8*3/4s-8*5/8s=8*44

8*44= 352

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 4

2*3s-8*5/8s=352

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 8

2*3s-5s=352

Calculate the product

6s-5s=352

Collect like terms

s=352
