Solve for S: 9s - 5g = -4u

Question

Help?(: 

Answer 1

to solve for s you first have to isolate the term with the s in it. in order to get 9s isolated, I need to get rid of, or move, the 5g. to do this I add 5g to both sides.

9s=-4u+5g

I've isolated the term with the s in it, now I have to solve for s by dividing by its coefficient, 9.

s=(-4/9)u+(5/9)g 

 

 

Answer 2

9s-5g=-4u

9s=5g-4u

s=(5g-4u)/9
