To solve the equation \(-30(s - 10) = -180\) in two steps, you can follow these ordered steps:
-
Divide both sides by -30:
\[ s - 10 = \frac{-180}{-30} \]
which simplifies to
\[ s - 10 = 6 \] -
Add 10 to both sides:
\[ s = 6 + 10 \]
which simplifies to
\[ s = 16 \]
So, the final answer is \(s = 16\).
