Question

Solve for s.
s2+3s=0
Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas.
s=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( s^2 + 3s = 0 \), we can factor out the common term:

\[
s(s + 3) = 0
\]

Now, we can set each factor equal to zero:

1. \( s = 0 \)
2. \( s + 3 = 0 \) which simplifies to \( s = -3 \)

Thus, the solutions are:

\[
s = 0, -3
\]

So, the final answer is:

\[
s = 0, -3
\]
