Question
Solve the equation
s=178
Alternative Form
s≈0.470588
Evaluate
8−4s=s×13
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
8−4s=13s
Move the variable to the left side
8−4s−13s=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−4s−13s
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−4−13)s
Subtract the numbers
−17s
8−17s=0
Move the constant to the right side
−17s=0−8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−17s=−8
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
17s=8
Divide both sides
1717s=178
Solution
