Full solution

Q. Solve for ss.\newline4=s+944 = s + \frac{9}{4}\newlines=s = _____
  1. Isolate variable by subtraction: Isolate the variable ss by subtracting 94\frac{9}{4} from both sides of the equation.\newline4=s+944 = s + \frac{9}{4}\newline494=s+94944 - \frac{9}{4} = s + \frac{9}{4} - \frac{9}{4}
  2. Perform subtraction with common denominator: Perform the subtraction on the left side of the equation.\newlineTo subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. Since 44 is the same as 164\frac{16}{4}, we can rewrite the equation as:\newline16494=s\frac{16}{4} - \frac{9}{4} = s
  3. Subtract numerators with common denominator: Subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator.\newline(169)/4=s(16 - 9)/4 = s\newline7/4=s7/4 = s
