What is the positive solution of x2 – 36 = 5x?

Required positive solution of the given quadratic equation is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation,

x² - 36 = 5x

We need to find positive solution of the given equation.

We solve the given quadratic equation using middle term split method.

x² - 36 = 5x

x² - 5x - 36 = 0

x² - 9x + 4x - 36 = 0

x( x - 9 ) + 4( x - 9 ) = 0

( x - 9 )( x + 4 ) = 0

x - 9 = 0    and  x + 4 = 0

x = 9   and x = -4

Therefore, Required positive solution of the given quadratic equation is 9.

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
