You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The points on the x-axis are all ordered pairs, (x,0).\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Distance Formula,
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28%28x-12%29%5E2%2B%280-5%29%5E2%29=13\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Any points ON THE x-AXIS would be y=0, and no restrictions are made for the values of x, so the x-axis, shown as an ordered pair, will be (x,0).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find points (x,0) which are 13 units from (12,5).
\n" ); document.write( "This will use, with the given symbolism, the Distance Formula:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28%28x-12%29%5E2%2B%280-5%29%5E2%29=13\"
\n" ); document.write( "SOLVE FOR x.
\n" ); document.write( "You should expect to find TWO values.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28%28x-12%29%5E2%2B25%29=13\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-12%29%5E2=25=169\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-12%29%5E2=169-25=144\"
