Question

What value of s makes this equation true? 6s−8=−26 s=−4 s=−3 s = 3 s = 4

Answer 1

`\sf \: b) \: s = - 3`

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of s.

The equation is,

→ 6s - 8 = -26

Then the value of s will be,

→ 6s - 8 = -26

→ 6s = -26 + 8

→ 6s = -18

→ s = -18 ÷ 6

→ [ s = -3 ]

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Answer 2

s = -3

Explanation:

6s - 8 = -26

Add 8 to both sides.

6s = - 26 + 8

6s = -18

Divide both sides by 6.

s = -3
