Simplifying 0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s Reorder the terms: 1 + 0.5s = 7 + 4.5s Solving 1 + 0.5s = 7 + 4.5s Solving for variable 's'. Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4.5s' to each side of the equation. 1 + 0.5s + -4.5s = 7 + 4.5s + -4.5s Combine like terms: 0.5s + -4.5s = -4s 1 + -4s = 7 + 4.5s + -4.5s Combine like terms: 4.5s + -4.5s = 0.0 1 + -4s = 7 + 0.0 1 + -4s = 7 Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -4s = 7 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -4s = 7 + -1 -4s = 7 + -1 Combine like terms: 7 + -1 = 6 -4s = 6 Divide each side by '-4'. s = -1.5 Simplifying s = -1.5

0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s Subtract 4.5s from both sides
-4s + 1 = 7 Subtract 1 from both sides
-4s = 6 Divide both sides by -4
s = -
(6)/(4) Simplify
s = -
(3)/(2)
