Question

solve for s. -3.2(s + -3) = 16 s =

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute -3.2

$-3.2s+(-3.2)\times(-3)=16$
$-3.2s + 9.6=16$

Step2: Subtract 9.6 from both sides

$-3.2s+9.6 - 9.6=16 - 9.6$
$-3.2s=6.4$

Step3: Divide both sides by -3.2

$\frac{-3.2s}{-3.2}=\frac{6.4}{-3.2}$
$s=- 2$

Answer:

$-2$
