To solve this equation, we can solve it like it is a quadratic (because it is). To solve it like it's a quadratic, we need to get one side equal to 0. We can do that by subtracting 150 from each side. That gives us x² + 5x -150 = 0. Now, we can factor the equation. Factoring it gives us (x-10)(x+15) = 0. Now, using the zero-product property, we can conclude the the roots for this equation are x = 10, -15. But, since the question is only asking us for the positive root, the answer is x = 10.
