The equation x^2 - 36 = 5x is a quadratic equation and can be solved thus:
x^2 - 36 = 5x
x^2 - 5x - 36 = 0
x^2 + 4x - 9x - 36 = 0
x(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0
(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0
x - 9 = 0 or x + 4 = 0
x = 9 or x = -4
Therefore, the positive solution of x^2 - 36 = 5x? is 9.

short answer is 9 for anyone who wants it.

Yes the full answer is -4, 9 but the question asks for the POSITIVE SOLUTION so the answer is just 9
