To solve the equation \( \frac{11}{s} + 3 + 4 = 5 \), we can start by simplifying it step by step.
-
Combine the constants on the left side: \[ \frac{11}{s} + 7 = 5 \]
-
Next, isolate the term with \( s \) by subtracting 7 from both sides: \[ \frac{11}{s} = 5 - 7 \] \[ \frac{11}{s} = -2 \]
-
Now, to eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides by \( s \): \[ 11 = -2s \]
-
Finally, solve for \( s \) by dividing both sides by -2: \[ s = \frac{11}{-2} \] \[ s = -\frac{11}{2} \]
So the solution for \( s \) is: \[ s = -\frac{11}{2} \]
