Hi Kimberly!

-(19 - 3s) - (8s + 1) = 35
-19 + 3s -8s - 1 = 35
-19 - 1 + 3s - 8s = 35
-20 - 5s = 35
-5s =35 + 20
-5s = 55
Divide both sides by -5
-5s/-5 = 55/-5
s = -11

A+ for Algebra guaranteed!

-(19 - 3s) - (8s + 1) = 35

Simplify.

-19 + 3s - 8s - 1 = 35

Add like terms.

(3s - 8s) + (-19 - 1) = 35

Simplify.

-5s - 20 = 35

Add 20 to both sides of the equation.

-5s = 55

Divide both sides by -5.

s = 11

~Hope I helped!~
