Simplify the expression:
(7s+2)(s+5) -(7s + 2) - (s + 5)

Distribute the negative sign to the first parentheses.

(7s+2)=7s2 -(7s + 2) = -7s - 2

Distribute the negative sign to the second parentheses.

(s+5)=s5 -(s + 5) = -s - 5

Combine the results from the two steps.

7s2s5 -7s - 2 - s - 5

Combine like terms.

7ss25=8s7 -7s - s - 2 - 5 = -8s - 7

The simplified expression is:
8s7 \boxed{-8s - 7}

The simplified expression is:
8s7 \boxed{-8s - 7}
