(i) Start with the equation \(\log_2(x+5) = 5 - \log_2 x\).
Using the law of logarithms, \(\log_2(x+5) + \log_2 x = 5\).
This can be rewritten as \(\log_2((x+5)x) = 5\).
Therefore, \((x+5)x = 2^5\).
So, \(x^2 + 5x = 32\).
Rearranging gives the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 5x - 32 = 0\).
(ii) Solve the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 5x - 32 = 0\).
Using the quadratic formula \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\), where \(a = 1\), \(b = 5\), \(c = -32\).
Calculate the discriminant: \(b^2 - 4ac = 5^2 - 4 \times 1 \times (-32) = 25 + 128 = 153\).
Thus, \(x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{153}}{2}\).
The positive solution is \(x = \frac{\sqrt{153} - 5}{2}\), which is approximately \(x = 3.68\).
