To solve the equation −30(s−10)=−180, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Distribute the -30: -30(s - 10) = -30s + 300, so the equation becomes: -30s + 300 = -180.

Step 2: Move 300 to the other side of the equation: -30s = -180 - 300, -30s = -480.

Step 3: Divide both sides by -30: s = -480 / -30, s = 16.

Thus, the correct order of steps is as follows:

Step 1: Distribute -30.

Step 2: Combine the constant terms.

And the value of \( s \) is:

s = 16.
