You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Raise each side to the (1/2) power, and have two equations:

x%2B5=%2B-+y%5E2---------the rendering is failing. Supposed to say plus or minus.
x=%2B-+y%5E2-5---------the rendering is failing. Supposed to say plus or minus.

...
Or you could turn that around to get y as a function of x.
y%5E2=-%28x%2B5%29 OR y%5E2=x%2B5
y%5E2=-x-5 OR y%5E2=x%2B5
highlight%28y=-sqrt%28-x-5%29%29 OR highlight%28y=%2B+sqrt%28x%2B5%29%29
