Solve -5+5%=-5*s

$$- 5 + 5 \% = - 5 * s$$

Solve for s

$$s=\frac{99}{100}=0.99$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$-5+\frac{1}{20}=-5s$$

Convert -5 to fraction -\frac{100}{20}.

$$-\frac{100}{20}+\frac{1}{20}=-5s$$

Since -\frac{100}{20} and \frac{1}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-100+1}{20}=-5s$$

Add -100 and 1 to get -99.

$$-\frac{99}{20}=-5s$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-5s=-\frac{99}{20}$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$s=\frac{-\frac{99}{20}}{-5}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{99}{20}}{-5} as a single fraction.

$$s=\frac{-99}{20\left(-5\right)}$$

Multiply 20 and -5 to get -100.

$$s=\frac{-99}{-100}$$

Fraction \frac{-99}{-100} can be simplified to \frac{99}{100} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$s=\frac{99}{100}$$
