Solve the following equation

s+56=5s

Solve for s

s + 56 = 5s

Group variables

Group our variables s and 5s
subtract 5s from both sides

s + 56 - 5s = 5s - 5s

Cancel 5s on the right side:

-4s + 56 = 0

Group constants

Group our constants 56 and 0.
subtract 56 from both sides

-4s + 56 - 56 = 0 - 56

Cancel 56 on the left side:

-4s = -56

Divide each side of the equation by -4

-4s
-4
=
  
-56
-4

s = 14

Final Answer


s = 14
