Question

What is the solution to –7s = –35?
A. s = –6
B. s = –5
C. s = 5
D. s = 6

Answer 1

Answer: s=5 and 5=s. *The answer should be positive sign.*

Explanation:

division property of equality is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number does not change the equation.

a/c=b/c for c≠0

divide by -7 both sides of an equation.

-7s/-7=-35/-7

simplify by equation.

35/7=5

It changes negative to positive.

s=5

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
