Solution:
The difference between the other zero from 3 should be the same as the difference between 3 and -5.
Let k be the other zero
k - 3 = 3 - (-5)
k - 3 = 8
k = 11
Therefore, the other zero is  .

------------
Plot the points (-5,0) and (3,10)
----
Since x = 3 is on the axis of symmetry,
3 is half-way between the zeroes of the equation.
----
Since -5 is 8 to the left of x = 3, the other
zero is 8 to the right of x = 3.
Ans: The other zero is at x = 11
