Question

Solve for s. You must write your answer in fully simplified form.
-5s = -13

Answer 1

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{s=(13)/(5) }}`

Explanation:

Isolate the term of s from one side of the equation.

-5s=-13

First, you have to divide by -5 from both sides.

→ -5s/-5=-13/-5

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

→ -13/-5=13/5

`\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{s=(13)/(5) }}`

• Therefore, the correct answer is s=13/5.

Answer 2

Hey there!

-5s = -13

DIVIDE -5 to BOTH SIDES

-5s/-5 = -13/-5

CANCEL out: -5/-5 because it give you 1

KEEP: -13/-5 because it help solve for the s-value

NEW EQUATION: s = -13/-5

SIMPLIFY IT!
s = 13/5

Therefore, your answer is: s = 13/5

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
