s = –2t + 71

The variable t represents the number of tables Rick has set, and the variable s represents the number of soup spoons remaining. How many tables does Rick need to set in order to have just 35 soup spoons left to distribute?

Respuesta :

Answer:

=-2S+71

We move all terms to the left:

-(-2S+71)=0

We get rid of parentheses

2S-71=0

We move all terms containing S to the left, all other terms to the right

2S=71

S=71/2

S=35+1/2
