Question

Can someone please Solve 5x+x^2=36

Answer 1

To make this easier, rewrite the equation in descending order:

`x^(2) + 5x = 36`
Then, move everything to one side by subtracting 36 from either side
`x^(2) +5x-36=0`
Next, factor the equation into two binomials:

`(x+9)(x-4)=0`
Then, split the two binomials and set them both equal to zero.

`x+9=0;x-4=0`
Then, simply, solve for x by isolating it:

`(x+9)-9=0-9;(x-4)+4=0+4 \\ x=-9;x=4`
Your two answers are x=-9 and x=4

If you're interested, you can check both answers by plugging them into the equation.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = 4 AND x = -9

Good luck.
