(2s-5)(3s+7)
---
root 1:
2s-5 = 0
2s = 5
s = 5/2
s = 2.5
---
root 2:
3s+7 = 0
3s = -7
s = -7/3
s = -2.33333333
---
expand the quadratic:
y = (2s-5)(3s+7)
y = 6ss - s - 35
---
check by finding the roots again, but using a different method:
6ss - s - 35 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=6, b=-1 and c=-35
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
6 -1 -35

---
the quadratic has two real roots at:
---
s = 2.5
s = -2.33333333
