Question

solve 12.5 + s = 27.

s =

12.5 + s = 27.0

• 12.5 - 12.5

an error has occurred. please enter a number.

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 12.5 from both sides

To solve for \( s \) in the equation \( 12.5 + s = 27 \), we use the subtraction property of equality. Subtract \( 12.5 \) from both sides of the equation:
\[
12.5 + s - 12.5 = 27 - 12.5
\]

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left side, \( 12.5 - 12.5 = 0 \), so we are left with \( s \). Simplifying the right side, \( 27 - 12.5 = 14.5 \).
\[
s = 14.5
\]

Answer:

\( 14.5 \)
