solve for s.\n76s + 3s - 71s - 5s - 1 = 29\ns =

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms

$$76s + 3s-71s - 5s=(76 + 3-71 - 5)s=(79 - 71 - 5)s=(8 - 5)s = 3s$$ The equation becomes $3s-1 = 29$.

Step2: Isolate the term with (s)

Add (1) to both sides of the equation: $$3s-1+1=29 + 1$$ $$3s=30$$

Step3: Solve for (s)

Divide both sides by (3): $$s=\frac{30}{3}$$

Answer:

(s = 10)
