s = 3.4

collect terms with s in them on left hand side and the numbers to the right hand side of the equation.

$\Rightarrow 1.5 s - s = 0.5 + 1.2$ $rArr 1.5s - s = 0.5 + 1.2$

$\Rightarrow 0.5 s = 1.7$ $rArr 0.5s = 1.7$

$\Rightarrow s = \frac{1.7}{0.5} = 3.4$ $rArr s = 1.7/0.5 = 3.4$

How do you solve 1.5s−1.2−s=0.51.5s - 1.2 - s = 0.5?
