1 answer

To solve the equation \(-30(s - 10) = -180\) in two steps, you can follow these ordered steps:

  1. Divide both sides by -30:
    \[ s - 10 = \frac{-180}{-30} \]
    which simplifies to
    \[ s - 10 = 6 \]

  2. Add 10 to both sides:
    \[ s = 6 + 10 \]
    which simplifies to
    \[ s = 16 \]

So, the final answer is \(s = 16\).
