Solve for s: (s-23)/(5) =8

Question

Solve for s:



`(s-23)/(5)` =8

Answer 1

`s = 63`

Explanation:

Solve for
`s` :

`(s - 23)/(5) = 8`

-Multiply both sides by the denominator
`5` :

`5 * (s - 23)/(5) = 8 * 5`

`s - 23 = 40`

-Add both sides by
`23` :

`s - 23 + 23 = 40 + 23`

`s = 63`

Therefore, the value of
`s` is
`63`.
