You can solve this by solving the equation:

x2 + 9x - 144 = 0

This has solutions which are approximately

8.316

and

-17.316

For exact answers, you could enter the coefficients into the quadratic equation.

An equivalent solution comes from the equation -x2 - 9x + 144 = 0, giving

-8.316 and 17.316 as the answer. You can arrive at the quadratic equation in two different ways, depending on the substitution you use.
