Solve for s in the following equation: 11/s+3+4=5 .

Answer 1

To solve for s, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Start by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation:

11/s + 3 + 4 - 3 = 5 - 3

11/s + 4 = 2

Next, subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:

11/s + 4 - 4 = 2 - 4

11/s = -2

To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by s:

s * (11/s) = -2 * s

11 = -2s

Divide both sides of the equation by -2:

11 / -2 = -2s / -2

-11/2 = s

Therefore, the solution to the equation is s = -11/2.
