Factor the left side of the equation.

10(s-5)(s+8)=0

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.

s-5=0

s+8=0

Set s-5 equal to 0 and solve for s.

s=5

Set s+8 equal to 0 and solve for s.

s=-8

The final solution is all the values that make 10(s-5)(s+8)=0 true.

s=5,-8
