If the total time represented is 24 hours, how many of those hours will be spent going to school?

s = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I moved all terms to the left:

2(8s-1)-(14s)=0

I added all the numbers together, and all the variables

-14s+2(8s-1)=0

I multiplied parentheses

-14s+16s-2=0

I added all the numbers together, and all the variables

2s-2=0

I moved all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right

2s=2

s=2/2

s=1
