SOLUTION: Write each product as a polynomial: Solve and Check: {{{ (2s-1)(s+2)=(s-4)(2s+5) }}}

Question 816130: Write each product as a polynomial:
Solve and Check:

Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(2s - 1)(s + 2) = (s - 4)(2s + 5)
2ss + 4s - s - 2 = 2ss + 5s - 8s - 20
2ss + 3s - 2 = 2ss - 3s - 20
3s - 2 = -3s - 20
6s = -18
---
s = -3
---
check:
(2s - 1)(s + 2) = (s - 4)(2s + 5)
s = -3
(-6 - 1)(-3 + 2) = (-3 - 4)(-6 + 5)
(-7)(-1) = (-7)(-1)
7 = 7
