Question

How do you solve 1.5s−1.2−s=0.5?

Answer 1

Hello! :)

Answer:

$\boxed{s=\frac{17}{5}=s=3.4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Group like terms (Switch sides.)

1.5s-s-1.2=0.5

Add similar element numbers from left/right.

0.5s-1.2=0.5

You multiply by 10 both sides of an equation.

0.5s*10-1.2*10=0.5*10

Simplify/refine

5s-12=5

Then, add by 12 both sides of an equation.

5s-12+12=5+12

Add numbers from left/right.

5+12=17

5s=17

Divide by 5 both sides of an equation.

5s/5=17/5

Simplify.

s=17/5 or s=3.4 is the final answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
