## Problem with solving square equation!

Hi everyone!

I have square equation, and I have to find x, so I use solve function and find 2 values of x, for example, positive x and negative x. Then I have to use that x in further equations, but only positive value of x.

Maybe someone could tell me how can I make that mathcad will use only positive x value in further equations and ignore negative?

Please look a file in attachment!

Thank you!
