s = 16
s = 16

s = -4
s = -4

s = 50
s = 50

s = 70

Answer 1

To solve for s, we will start by distributing -30 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-30s + 300 = -180

Next, we will isolate the variable s by subtracting 300 from both sides:

-30s = -480

Finally, we will solve for s by dividing both sides by -30:

s = 16

So the correct answer is s = 16.
