Question

35=2/s+13

Answer 1

help solving please!!

Answer 2

\[35 = \frac{ 2 }{ s } + 13\]

The first step would be to subtract 13 from both sides of the equation. Can you do that for me, hun?

Answer 3

i got 0.09 for my answer

Answer 4

it would be better to keep the answer in "symbolic" form...what was the fraction before you divided?

Answer 5

Susana, you want to subtract 13.

So: 35 - 13 = 22

So we have: \[22 = \frac{ 2 }{ s }\]
Now, since 2 is being divided, the opposite would be to multiply both sides by 2, right?

Answer 6

yes correct

Answer 7

Can you multiply by 2, hun?

Answer 8

There are at least two obvious fractions which might be expressed as 0.09, but only one of them is a correct answer to this problem. 9/100 = 0.09 (exactly) but I don't think that is what you had. 1/11 is 0.090909090909090909090909...
