Evaluate Using the Given Value s/5+125=2 , 225

$\frac{s}{5} + 125 = 2$ , $225$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $s$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $125$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{s}{5} = 2 - 125$

Subtract $125$ from $2$ .

$\frac{s}{5} = - 123$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $5$ .

$5 \frac{s}{5} = 5 \cdot - 123$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$5 \frac{s}{5} = 5 \cdot - 123$

Rewrite the expression.

$s = 5 \cdot - 123$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $5$ by $- 123$ .

$s = - 615$

Step 4

Replace the variable $s$ with $- 615$ in the expression.

$225$
