Solve this problem:

\[ 8s - (8 + 6s) = 20 \]

8 s − ( 8 + 6 s ) = 20 8 s − 8 − 6 s = 20 2 s = 28 s = 14

To solve the equation 8s - (8 + 6s) = 20, distribute the negative sign, combine like terms, and isolate the variable to find that s = 14.

The problem 8s - (8 + 6s) = 20 is a linear equation where we are solving for the variable s . First, we simplify the equation by distributing the negative sign inside the parentheses: 8s - 8 - 6s = 20.
Then, we combine like terms which gives us 2s - 8 = 20. Next, we add 8 to both sides to isolate the term with the variable which results in 2s = 28.
Lastly, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for s , obtaining s = 14.
