What value of s is a solution to this equation?

5s=40

1 answer

To solve the equation \(5s = 40\), you can isolate \(s\) by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

\[ s = \frac{40}{5} \]

Calculating the right side gives:

\[ s = 8 \]

Thus, the value of \(s\) that is a solution to the equation is \(s = 8\).
