:) Brainliest pls??

Answer:

The positive solution is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 6 = 5x (Subtract 5x from both sides)

x^2 -5x - 6 = 0 (We can factor this, so there is no need to use the quadratic formula)

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

If the product of the two terms is zero then either one being equal to zero will cause the whole expression to be zero.

The solutions are:

x - 6 = 0 (Add 6 to both sides)

x = 6

x + 1 = 0 (Subtract 1 from both sides)

x = -1

The positive solution is 6.

Describe why you can change a subtraction problem into an addition problem
Elena-2011 [213]
A subtraction problem can be turned in to an addition problem because of negative numbers. Take 5-2=3 for example. If you change 5-2 into an addition problem then you would but he addition sign and a negative sign on 2. This will then leave you with the problem looking like 5+ -2. If you add 5 and -2 you will still get three.
