I was studying for my exam doing exercises, and in one of the questions where you had to use the laplace transform, they transformed this: $$X'(t)=AX(t)$$ into this:$$sX(s)-X(t=0)=AX(s)$$ where $X(s)=L\{X(t)\}$
Could someone explain to me the left side of the second function please? I've been looking at it for an hour like an idiot and cant figure it out...

How did this function turn to the other through the laplace transform?

Following on from my comment:
The left-hand side, namely $sX(s)-X(t=0)$, is the Laplace transform of the derivative $X'(t)$. You should be able to find it in most Laplace transform tables.
I'll provide a link to the 'proof' and use of it (as there is too much to possibly write here).
