Question

10s - 5 = 20


Value of s

Answer 1

s = 2.5

Explanation:

you need to figure out what multiplied by 10 will give you 25, because then you have to subtract 5 in the second part of the equation to get 20.

10 multiplied by 2.5 equals 25, so s = 2.5

Answer 2

2.5

Explanation:

10s-5=20

(add 5 to both sides)

10s=25

(divide both sides by 10)

s=2.5
