Solving
1.6 + s = 3.6 + -3s

Solving for variable 's'.

Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3s' to each side of the equation.
1.6 + s + 3s = 3.6 + -3s + 3s

Combine like terms: s + 3s = 4s
1.6 + 4s = 3.6 + -3s + 3s

Combine like terms: -3s + 3s = 0
1.6 + 4s = 3.6 + 0
1.6 + 4s = 3.6

Add '-1.6' to each side of the equation.
1.6 + -1.6 + 4s = 3.6 + -1.6

Combine like terms: 1.6 + -1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 4s = 3.6 + -1.6
4s = 3.6 + -1.6

Combine like terms: 3.6 + -1.6 = 2
4s = 2

Divide each side by '4'.
s = 0.5

Simplifying
s = 0.5
