Answer:

s = -133/5 = -26.600 ⬇️

Explanation:

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 1 :

(0 - 5 • (s + 30)) - -17 = 0

Step 2 :

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

-5s - 133 = -1 • (5s + 133)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

-5s - 133 = 0

Step 4 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.1 Solve : -5s-133 = 0

Add 133 to both sides of the equation :

-5s = 133

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : 5s = -133

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

s = -133/5 = -26.600

One solution was found :

s = -133/5 = -26.600
