We start by isolating x^2 on one side of the equation:
x^2 + 9 = 25
x^2 = 25 - 9
x^2 = 16
To solve for x, we take the square root of both sides. However, since we are looking for the positive value of x, we take only the positive square root:
x = √16
x = 4
Therefore, the positive value of x is 4.
If x square + 9 = 25 what is the positive value of x
