Question

Simplify the following algebraic expression.
$6s-7-14s=0$

• A. $s=\frac{8}{7}$
• B. $s=\frac{-7}{8}$
• C. $s=\frac{-8}{7}$
• D. $s=\frac{7}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $s=\frac{-7}{8}$

Let us simplify the given algebraic expression $6s-7-14s=0$

$6s-7-14s=0\Rightarrow (6s-14s)-7=0\Rightarrow -8s-7=0\Rightarrow -8s=7\Rightarrow s=-\frac{7}{8}$

Hence, $s=-\frac{7}{8}$.
