Solve for s -8s=-7s+10

$- 8 s = - 7 s + 10$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $s$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $7 s$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 8 s + 7 s = 10$

Add $- 8 s$ and $7 s$ .

$- s = 10$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- s = 10$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- s = 10$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- s}{- 1} = \frac{10}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{s}{1} = \frac{10}{- 1}$

Divide $s$ by $1$ .

$s = \frac{10}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $10$ by $- 1$ .

$s = - 10$
