s^{2}+8s+15+s\left(10-s\right)=11s+1
Use the distributive property to multiply s+3 by s+5 and combine like terms.
s^{2}+8s+15+10s-s^{2}=11s+1
Use the distributive property to multiply s by 10-s.
s^{2}+18s+15-s^{2}=11s+1
Combine 8s and 10s to get 18s.
18s+15=11s+1
Combine s^{2} and -s^{2} to get 0.
18s+15-11s=1
Subtract 11s from both sides.
7s+15=1
Combine 18s and -11s to get 7s.
7s=1-15
Subtract 15 from both sides.
7s=-14
Subtract 15 from 1 to get -14.
s=\frac{-14}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
s=-2
Divide -14 by 7 to get -2.
