______________________________


\bold{Solution~Steps:}


1.)~Combine~8s~and~-4s:


  • \bold{8s+(-4s)=4s}


2.)~Subtract~7s~from~both~sides:


  • \bold{7s-7s=Cancels~out}

  • \bold{4s-7s=-3s}


3.)~Subtract~15~from~both~sides:


  • \bold{15-15=Cancels~out}

  • \bold{6-15=-9}


4.)~Divide~both~sides~by~-3:


  • \bold{-3s} ÷
    \bold{-3s=Cancels~out}

  • \bold{-9} ÷
    \bold{-3=3}

  • \bold{When~there~is~2~negatives~being~divided,~the~quotient~is~always~positive.}
