Question

Solve the following pictured equation.

Answer 1

57

Explanation:

17 - s / 4 = -10

Multiplying both sides by 4

17 - s / 4 × 4 = -10×4

17 - s = -40

17-s+40=0

57-s = 0

s = 57

Answer 2

57

Explanation:

(17 - s)/4 = -10

Multiply both sides by 4.

17 - s = -40

Subtract 17 from both sides.

-s = -57

Divide both sides by -1.

s = 57
