To solve the equation \( -30(s - 10) = -180 \), the steps in order would be:

Step 1: Distribute -30 on the left side of the equation. Step 2: Divide both sides by -30 to isolate \( s - 10 \).

Here’s how it looks:

  1. \( -30(s - 10) = -180 \)
  2. \( -30s + 300 = -180 \) (after distribution)
  3. \( -30s = -180 - 300 \)
  4. \( -30s = -480 \)
  5. \( s = \frac{-480}{-30} \)
  6. \( s = 16 \)

So putting it in your required format:

Step 1: Distribute -30 to both terms in \( s - 10 \).
Step 2: Divide both sides by -30.

I apologize for the confusion. Let's identify the proper steps according to your list. Typically, solving the equation \( -30(s - 10) = -180 \) can involve the following logical steps:

  1. Divide both sides by -30 to simplify the equation.
  2. Add 10 to both sides to isolate \( s \).

If those specific options are available in your list, select them accordingly.

Here’s a typical breakdown based on the standard approach:

  1. Divide both sides by -30 - This will give you \( s - 10 = 6 \).
  2. Add 10 to both sides - This results in \( s = 16 \).
