Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−26+320)s
Add the numbers
294s
294s+28=0
Move the constant to the right side
294s=0−28
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
294s=−28
Divide both sides
294294s=294−28
Divide the numbers
s=294−28
