Solve for s 76s+3s-71s-5s-1=29

$76 s + 3 s - 71 s - 5 s - 1 = 29$

Step 1

Simplify $76 s + 3 s - 71 s - 5 s - 1$ .

Add $76 s$ and $3 s$ .

$79 s - 71 s - 5 s - 1 = 29$

Subtract $71 s$ from $79 s$ .

$8 s - 5 s - 1 = 29$

Subtract $5 s$ from $8 s$ .

$3 s - 1 = 29$

Step 2

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

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$3 s = 29 + 1$

Add $29$ and $1$ .

$3 s = 30$

Step 3

Divide each term in $3 s = 30$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 s = 30$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 s}{3} = \frac{30}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 s}{3} = \frac{30}{3}$

Divide $s$ by $1$ .

$s = \frac{30}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $30$ by $3$ .

$s = 10$
