The word problem would be translated as s + 8 = 10.
The solution is: s = 2
First, let's translate the statement given to form an algebraic equation, then solve for the unknown variable.
- The difference of -5s and -6s is translated as -5s - (-6s) = "s"
- 8 more than the "difference of -5s and -6s" is: s + 8.
- sum of 3 and 7 = 3 + 7 = 10.
Therefore, the equation would be:
s + 8 = 10
- Solve for s by subtracting 8 from both sides
s + 8 - 8 = 10 - 8
s = 2
Therefore, the word problem would be translated as s + 8 = 10.
The solution is: s = 2
