Solve for s. −30(s−10)=−180

Question

s = 16
s = -4
s = 50
s = 70

Answer 1

To solve the equation −30(s−10)=−180 for s, we will first distribute the -30 on the left side of the equation:

-30s + 300 = -180

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

-30s + 300 - 300 = -180 - 300

-30s = -480

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

s = -480 / -30

s = 16

Therefore, the solution to the equation is s = 16.
