Solve -10(s+1)=-29

$$- 10 ( s + 1 ) = - 29$$

Solve for s

$$s = \frac{19}{10} = 1\frac{9}{10} = 1.9$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -10.

$$s+1=\frac{-29}{-10}$$

Fraction \frac{-29}{-10} can be simplified to \frac{29}{10} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$s+1=\frac{29}{10}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$s=\frac{29}{10}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{10}{10}.

$$s=\frac{29}{10}-\frac{10}{10}$$

Since \frac{29}{10} and \frac{10}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$s=\frac{29-10}{10}$$

Subtract 10 from 29 to get 19.

$$s=\frac{19}{10}$$
