Answer:

s = 10500

Explanation:

s/5 + 125 = 2225

Our mission is to isolate s. We can first begin to do this by subtracting 125 from both sides.

s/5 + 125 - 125 = 2225 - 125

s/5 = 2100

Since s is being divided by 5, we can multiply by 5 on both sides to get s alone.

s/5 x 5 = 2100 x 5

s = 10500
