If 7(s-4)=-3+2s,then s=

Let's simplify this
So we have

7s - 28 = 3 + 2s
Subtract 2s from both sides, giving

5s - 28 = 3
Add 28 to both sides
5s = 31
Dividing by 5 on each side gives us

s = 31 / 5

And that's it.........

Chris, you have made a small mistake. It is -3 not 3.

5s - 28 = -3
Add 28 to both sides
5s = 25
Dividing by 5 on each side gives us

s = 5

Once you fix your entry I will delete this one.
