find the equations of circles which are tangent to the x-axis, with radius of 5 units and passing through the point (0,8)
---------------------------
There are 2 of them. Their centers are on the circle with a center at (0,8) and 5 units from the x-axis --> on the line y = 5
---------

y = 5
--------

x = -4, +4
--> Center @ (-4,5)

------
Center @ (4,5)

(x+4)^2+(y-5)^2 = 25 which is also x^2+8x+y^2-10y+16 = 0
(x-4)^2+(y-5)^2 = 25 which is also x^2-8x+y^2-10y+16 = 0
