Question

S-rs=a-ar5 how do i solve for s

Answer 1

The value of s in the given equation is
`(a(1-r^5))/(1-r)`

Therefore
`s=(a(1-r^5))/(1-r)`

Explanation:

Given equation is
`s-rs=a-ar^5`

To find the value of s :

`s-rs=a-ar^5`

Taking common term "s" outside in LHS and common term "a" outside in RHS

`s(1-r)=a(1-r^5)`

Dividing by (1-r) on both sides we get

`(s(1-r))/(1-r)=(a(1-r^5))/(1-r)`

`s=(a(1-r^5))/(1-r)`

Therefore the value of s in the given equation is
`(a(1-r^5))/(1-r)`

Therefore
`s=(a(1-r^5))/(1-r)`
