The solution

You have entered [src]
36 = x*(x + 5)
$$36 = x \left(x + 5\right)$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$36 = x \left(x + 5\right)$$
to
$$- x \left(x + 5\right) + 36 = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$- x \left(x + 5\right) + 36 = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$- x^{2} - 5 x + 36 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -1$$
$$b = -5$$
$$c = 36$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-5)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (36) = 169

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = -9$$
$$x_{2} = 4$$
The graph
Rapid solution [src]
x1 = -9
$$x_{1} = -9$$
x2 = 4
$$x_{2} = 4$$
x2 = 4
Sum and product of roots [src]
sum
-9 + 4
$$-9 + 4$$
=
-5
$$-5$$
product
-9*4
$$- 36$$
=
-36
$$-36$$
-36
Numerical answer [src]
x1 = -9.0
x2 = 4.0
x2 = 4.0
