Solve the equation by the​ zero-factor property.

​(s−36​)(s+25​)=0

1 answer

To use the zero-factor property, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for s.

Setting s - 36 = 0, we add 36 to both sides: s = 36.

Setting s + 25 = 0, we subtract 25 from both sides: s = -25.

So the solutions to the equation are s = 36 and s = -25.
