Ineed answer
i am doing lewis structures in chem and don't understand if there was an example it would

Sulfur has 6 electrons, so we put 6 in the first spot. 
Oxygen has 6 electrons too, but since there are 3, we would multiply 6 times 3 , which equals 18, then add that too.
The 2 is added because there is that negative 2 at the top of the formular, which indicates the presence of two extra valence electrons.

the equation would be

6 + 18 + 2  = 26
