Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

-8s + 4 = -7s + 21

Step 2: Solve for s

  1. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 7s on both sides:                                   -s + 4 = 21
  2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4 on both sides:                        -s = 17
  3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide -1 on both sides:                                 s = -17
