Question

Solve for s.
0.5s+1=7+4.5s0.5s+1=7+4.5s

Answer 1

The answer.....s equals -1.5

Answer 2

`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`
