Question 337023
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Use the distance formula:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ d\ =\ sqrt{(x_1\ -\ x_2)^2\ +\ (y_1\ -\ y_2)^2}]


where *[tex \Large \left(x_1,y_1\right)] and *[tex \Large \left(x_2,y_2\right)] are the coordinates of the given points.


So:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ sqrt{(x\ -\ (-5))^2\ +\ ((-3)\ -\ (-15))^2}\ =\ 15]


Solve for *[tex \Large x].

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
