Question

s+7/s=-8

Answer 1

you dont know how to solve proportions pupo

Answer 2

I would simplify the problem to get rid of the fraction.

Answer 3

of course you simplify the problem, do you want to complicate the problem

Answer 4

Lagrange is mad today...

Answer 5

should there be any parentheses in the problem? is it
s+(7/s)=-8
or
(s+7)/s=-8

Answer 6

Is that (s+7)/s or never mind turing Test Is getting it straightened out

Answer 7

Try it both ways:
(s+7)/s=-8 then
-8s=s+7
9s=-7
s=-7/9

Answer 8

How generous of you radar, to do the problem twice. A medal for you!

Answer 9

or if it is s + (7/s) =-8
TuringTest, I'm retired...I have the time lol

Multiplying all terms by s gives
\[s ^{2}+7=-8s\]
\[s ^{2}+8s+7=0\]

Answer 10

s=-1
s=-7
As it nicely factors (s+1)(s+7)

Answer 11

thanks
