Final Answer: [tex]s = -\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Question: Equations with variables on both sides: decimals and fractions, algebra 2. [tex]0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s[/tex].

Step 1: Subtract [tex]0.5[/tex] from both sides.

[tex]1 = 7 + 4.5s - 0.5s[/tex]

Step 2: Simplify [tex]7 + 4.5s - 0.5s[/tex] to [tex]7 + 4s[/tex].

[tex]1 = 7 + 4s[/tex]

Step 3: Subtract [tex]7[/tex] from both sides.

[tex]1 - 7 = 4s[/tex]

Step 4: Simplify [tex]1 - 7[/tex] to [tex]-6[/tex].

[tex]-6 = 4s[/tex]

Step 5: Divide both sides by [tex]4[/tex].

[tex]-\frac{6}{4} = s[/tex]

Step 6: Simplify [tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex] to [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex].

[tex]-\frac{3}{2} = s[/tex]

Step 7: Switch sides.

[tex]s = -\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
