What is the positive root of the equation x2 + 5x = 150?
ao

10.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 5x = 150

x^2 + 5x - 150 = 0

This equation will factor:

(x - 10)(x + 15) = 0

x - 10 = 0 or x + 15 = 0, so:

x = 10 or -15.

================================================

Work Shown:

First get everything to one side

Now use the quadratic formula

Plug in a = 1, b = 5, c = -150.

Factoring, completing the square, or graphing are alternative methods to get these two answers. We see that the positive root is x = 10.
