find the value of x in (x,4) if this point is 10 units distant from (0,-2)
-----------
diffy, the difference in the y values is 6.
--> diffx = 8 from the 3-4-5 right triangle times 2 --> 6-8-10 triangle.
=================
x = -8 or +8
----------------------
The hard way:
10 = sqrt(diffx^2 + diffy^2)
100 = diffx^2 + 36
diffx^2 = 64
x = -8, +8
