s=22.5
↓Steps Explained:↓
Solve for s
5s - 45 = 3s
Group variables
Group our variables 5s and 3s
subtract 3s from both sides
5s - 45 - 3s = 3s - 3s
Cancel 3s on the right side:
2s - 45 = 0
Divide each side by 5
| 5s | |
| 5 |
| = |
| -45 |
| 5 |
Group constants
Group our constants -45 and 0.
add 45 to both sides
2s - 45 + 45 = 0 + 45
Cancel 45 on the left side:
2s = 45
Divide each side of the equation by 2
| 2s | |
| 2 |
| = |
| 45 |
| 2 |
s = 22.5
