Answer

$s=3$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{align*} s-2+2&=1+2 &\text{Add 2 to each side of the equation.}\\ s&=3 &\text{Simplify}. \end{align*}$ Check if the solution is correct by substituting $3$ to the variable in the original equation: $\begin{align*} s-2&=1\\ 3-2&\stackrel{?}{=}1\\ 1&\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}1 \end{align*}$ Thus, the solution is $s=3$.
