Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution. (1/2 is a fraction for one half
s-1/2=1/2

Answer 1

`s = 1`

Explanation:

Given

`s - (1)/(2) = (1)/(2)`

Required

Solve for s

`s - (1)/(2) = (1)/(2)`

Add
`(1)/(2)` to both sides

`s - (1)/(2) + (1)/(2) = (1)/(2) + (1)/(2)`

Take LCM

`s + (-1+1)/(2) = (1+1)/(2)`

`s + (0)/(2) = (2)/(2)`

`s +0 = 1`

`s = 1`
