Question

Find the solution set for this equation -s^2-5s=0

Answer 1

(−s)(2)−5s=0

−2s+−5s=0

(−2s+−5s)=0(Combine Like Terms)

−7s=0

−7s=0

Step 2: Divide both sides by -7.

−7s−7=0−7

s=0

Explanation:

Answer 2

s = 0, -5

Explanation:

-s^2-5s=0

Factor out an s.

s(-s-5) = 0

set s=0 and (-s-5) = 0

-s-5 = 0

-s = 5

s= -5; s = 0
