Solve: 4.4(3s + 7) = 4s + 4(s – 0.2) – 13.5s – 5.8
You asked:
Solve the equation \(4.4 \left(3 s + 7\right) = 4 s + 4 \left(s - 0.2\right) - 13.5 s - 5.8\) for the variable \(s\).
MathBot Answer:
The solution is: \[s = -2\]
\[\begin{aligned}4.4 \left(3 s + 7\right) &= 4 s + 4 \left(s - 0.2\right) - 13.5 s - 5.8\\13.2 s + 30.8 &= -5.5 s - 6.6\\18.7 s &= -37.4\\s &= -2\end{aligned}\]
