Answer:


s=-1.5

Explanation:

Given the equation :


0.5s+1=7+4.5s

the first step is to put all the terms with the variable we want to solve for on one side of the equation, in this case I will put all the terms with
s on the right side, and all the independent terms on the left side.


1-7=4.5s-0.5s

Solving for
s we have the following:


-6=4s


(-6)/(4) =s


-1.5 =s

the answer is:
s=-1.5
