64s2
64s2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
64s2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
64s2=1
Divide both sides
6464s2=641
Divide the numbers
s2=641
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
s=±641
