X2 + X = 15
X2 + X - 15 = 0
Looks like a job for the quadratic formula. ( the discriminant says two real roots )
X = - b (+/-) sqrt(b2- 4ac)/2a
a = 1
b = 1
c = - 15
X = - 1 (+/-) sqrt[12 - 4(1)(- 15)]/2(1)
X = - 1 (+/-) sqrt(1 + 60)/2
X =[ - 1 (+/-) sqrt(61)]/2
---------------------------------exact answer
So, X = ~ 3.41
X = ~ - 4.41
(x-3)(x-5) = 0

x2+x-15 = 0 Using the quadratic equation formula: x = 3.405124838 or x = -4.405124838

x2-35x+300 = 0 (x-15)(x-20) = 0 x = 15 or x = 20
(x-3)(x-5) = 0
X = √63

2 squared plus 2 x 3 = 10, 7 squared plus 7 x 2 = 63, 6 squared plus 6 x 5 = 66,8 squared plus 8 x 4 = 96 so 9 squared plus 9 x 7 = 81 + 63 = 144.
x2 + 2x - 15 = 0(x + 5) (x - 3) = 0x = -5x = +3
x2+x-15 = 0 Using the quadratic equation formula: x = 3.405124838 or x = -4.405124838
(x + 5)(x - 3)
it equals x1 it equals x1

X squared = x+6 6+x=x squared X=6
x2-35x+300 = 0 (x-15)(x-20) = 0 x = 15 or x = 20
