Enter Equation or Inequality

Solve the following equation

3.75(2848-s)+2.50s=10078.75

Solve for s

3.75(2848 - s) + 2.50s = 10078.75

Simplify by removing parentheses
Simplify 3.75(2848 - s):
Distribute the 3.75 to each term in (2848-s)
3.75 * 2848 = (3.75 * 2848) = 10680
3.75 * -s = (3.75 * -1)s = -3.75s
Our Total expanded term is 10680-3.75s

Our new term is
10680 - 3.75s + 2.50s

Show our new expression:

10680-3.75s+2.50s=10078.75

Group the s terms on the left:

(-3.75 + 2.5)s = -1.25s

Form modified equation

-1.25s + 10680 = + 10078.75

Divide each side by 10680

10680s
10680
=
  
-3.75
10680

Group constants

Group our constants 10680 and 10078.75.
subtract 10680 from both sides

-1.25s + 10680 - 10680 = 10078.75 - 10680

Cancel 10680 on the left side:

-1.25s = -601.25

Divide each side of the equation by -1.25

-1.25s
-1.25
=
  
-601.25
-1.25

s = 481

Final Answer


s = 481
