The answer.....s equals -1.5

Answer:

[tex]s=-1.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

[tex]0.5s+1=7+4.5s[/tex]

the first step is to put all the terms with the variable we want to solve for on one side of the equation, in this case I will put all the terms with [tex]s[/tex] on the right side, and all the independent terms on the left side.

[tex]1-7=4.5s-0.5s[/tex]

Solving for [tex]s[/tex] we have the following:

[tex]-6=4s[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-6}{4} =s[/tex]

[tex]-1.5 =s[/tex]

the answer is: [tex]s=-1.5[/tex]
