Question
$$\frac{5}{s+10} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{s+10} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ s+10 }. \\[1 em](s+10)\cdot\frac{5}{s+10} &= (s+10)\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]5 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 5 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
