Solve the following equation
5s+34.35-12s+16.94-5s=27.41
Solve for s
5s + 34.35 - 12s + 16.94 - 5s = 27.41
Group the s terms on the left:
(5 - 12 - 5)s = -12s
Group the constants on the left
34.35 + 16.94 = 51.29
Form modified equation
-12s + 51.29 = + 27.41
Divide each side by 5
| 5s | |
| 5 |
| = |
| 34.35 |
| 5 |
Group constants
Group our constants 51.29 and 27.41.
subtract 51.29 from both sides
-12s + 51.29 - 51.29 = 27.41 - 51.29
Cancel 51.29 on the left side:
-12s = -23.88
Divide each side of the equation by -12
| -12s | |
| -12 |
| = |
| -23.88 |
| -12 |
s = 1.99
Final Answer
s = 1.99
