s =

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the double - negative

The equation $s-(-41) = 429$ simplifies to $s + 41=429$ since subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.
$s+41 = 429$

Step2: Isolate s

Subtract 41 from both sides of the equation.
$s+41-41=429 - 41$
$s=388$

Answer:

388
