  1. add the -13 to the 7s+20 and you get 7s+33=40s

    minus 7s from 40s and u get 33s=33

    divide by 33 s=1


  2. 7s + 20 = 40s - 13 (subtract 20 from both sides)

    7s + 20 - 20 = 40s - 13 - 20

    7s = 40s - 33 (subtract 40s from both sides)

    7s - 40s = 40s - 33 - 40s

    -33s = -33 (divide both sides by -33)

    -33s/-33 = -33/-33

    s = 1 <===ANSWER

  3. 1) Subtract 7s from both sides, canceling out the 7s on the left side.

    7s - 7s + 20 = 40s - 7s - 13

    20 = 40 s - 7s - 13

    20 = 33s - 13

    2) Add 13 to both sides, canceling out the -13 on the right side.

    20 + 13 = 33s - 13 + 13

    33 = 33s

    3) Divide both sides by 33, canceling out the 33 factor of 33s on the right side.

    33/33 = 33s/33

    1 = 1s

    **s = 1**
