Q:
Find all points on the x-axis that are 5 units from the point (4,-3)
A:
We want to find all x such that the distance between the points (x, 0) and (4, -3) is equal to 5.

Square both sides

Get the square root of both sides
4 - x = 4 or 4 - x = -4
x = 0 or 8
The points on the x-axis are (0, 0) and (8, 0).
