(s+5)(s-18)=0

Solution for (s+5)(s-18)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(s + 5)(s + -18) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + s)(s + -18) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + s)(-18 + s) = 0

Multiply (5 + s) * (-18 + s)
(5(-18 + s) + s(-18 + s)) = 0
((-18 * 5 + s * 5) + s(-18 + s)) = 0
((-90 + 5s) + s(-18 + s)) = 0
(-90 + 5s + (-18 * s + s * s)) = 0
(-90 + 5s + (-18s + s2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 5s + -18s = -13s
(-90 + -13s + s2) = 0

Solving
-90 + -13s + s2 = 0

Solving for variable 's'.

18 + -1s = 0

Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-18' to each side of the equation.
18 + -18 + -1s = 0 + -18

Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
0 + -1s = 0 + -18
-1s = 0 + -18

Combine like terms: 0 + -18 = -18
-1s = -18

Divide each side by '-1'.
s = 18

Simplifying
s = 18
Solution
s = {-5, 18}
