Bot GPT 3.5 To find the positive solution to the equation x^2 = 2x + 24, we first need to rewrite the equation in standard form:
x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0
Now, we can solve for x by factoring or using the quadratic formula. Factoring the equation, we get:
(x - 6)(x + 4) = 0
Setting each factor to zero gives us two potential solutions:
x - 6 = 0 or x + 4 = 0
x = 6 or x = -4
Since we are looking for the positive solution, x = 6 is the positive solution to the equation x^2 = 2x + 24.
