Answer:

-2.615

Explanation:

s = -34/13 = -2.615

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

2-28-(8+13*s)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors :

-34 - 13s = -1 • (13s + 34)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.1 Solve : -13s-34 = 0

Add 34 to both sides of the equation :

-13s = 34

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 13s = -34

Divide both sides of the equation by 13:

s = -34/13 = -2.615

One solution was found :

s = -34/13 = -2.615
