removing the brackets
8s-20=6s+2
transposing
2s=22
s=11
answer s=$11

8(s-$2.50)=6s + $2
8s - $20 = 6s +$2
8s - $20 + $20 = 6s + $2 + $20
8s = 6s + $22
8s - 6s = 6s - 6s + $22
2s = $22
s = $11

Why are there dollar signs?
8(s-$2.5) = 6s+$2
(Distribute the 8)
8s-$20 = 6s+$2
(Combine like terms)
2s=$22
(Divide by 2)
s=$11

multiply the 8 in the brackets
8s-$20 = 6s + $2
isolate s:
2s = $22
then, divide the right side by 2 to get s
s = $11

I multiply everything on the left side by 8.
Then I subtract 6s from both sides.
Then I have 2s on the left and some numbers on the right side.
Then I divvide both sides by 2.
Then I get the answer.
try it then you will get the answer and can do it when it shows up on the test.

don't use this ($) when you solving this problem...do it like this
8(s+2.5)=6s+2
8s+20=6s-2
8s-6s=-2-20
2s=-22
s=-11

8(s-$2.50)=6s+$2
8s-20=6s+2
8s-6s-20-2=6s-6s+2-2
2s-22=0
2s=22
s=11
